"L.A KEYZ" (born Aug 21 1991) is an American singer, songwriter, and dancer who was born on the Westside of Detroit, Michigan. She started out in music at the age of 9 when she and her mother discovered her natural ability to play piano and keyboard by ear. L.A would listen to artists such as the temptations, Marvin Gaye, Aaliyah, Janet and Michael Jackson along with many other artists. And would recall the exact composition of their music to play for her mother after only listening to the songs once or twice. 
Her mother, Minister Deborah Munroe-Bailey, recognized this unique talent that her daughter had and decided to enroll her in music classes. Along with learning how to read music L.a Keyz's music instructor also educated her on music production at a very young age, teaching her how to record and mix audio recordings. 
At the age of 13, L.A Keyz began to combine her talents of writing, singing/rapping, and piano playing together creating her own unique style of music, where she focused strongly on melodies and harmonies. Today, this is how the "keyz' part of L.A's name came about.

Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Vic rose to public awareness as a member of the eclectic hip-hop band Kids These Days and founder of the Chicago collective SAVEMONEY alongside Chance The Rapper and other local upstarts Joey Purp and Peter CottonTale. His solo debut mixtape INNANETAPE dropped in 2013, igniting immediate accolades (including a spot on the XXL Freshman cover in 2014), and a fortuitous introduction to Jay Z that led to a record deal with Roc Nation. Mensa went on to help Kanye West pen his esoteric song “Wolves” from The Life of Pablo, drop three critically acclaimed EPs (2016’s There’s A Lot Going On, 2018’s Hooligans, and 2020’s V TAPE) and his debut full length The Autobiography (2017), as well as furthering social causes in his hometown through his nonprofit SAVEMONEYSAVELIFE. In both music and his social activism, Vic challenges the American system responsible for a history of overcriminalization, racial injustice, and issues that affect the lives of people in underserved communities, while showcasing profound levels of consciousness and self-reflection.
