Hip-Hop has infatuated My_Kayla since her adolescence. Born Micháela Penn in Cleveland, OH the gifted artist wrote her first rap at age 7 which later led to a hobby of freestyling, poetry and songwriting. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Missy Elliott and Nicki Minaj she went on to drop the local hit 2bb, but eventually took time off from music to focus on obtaining a master’s degree. Her comeback was a debut album titled The 20th Summer which was praised as “Perfection” by LA On Lock. The album is a grand statement about finding inspiration in the face of disappointment. It distinguished My_Kayla as a true storyteller similar to J. Cole and Ms. Lauryn Hill.

My_Kayla’s versatility as a rapper / songwriter attracted the attention of music publishing executives leading to song placements with networks like HBO, Disney, Amazon Prime Video, The Food Network, Fortnite, ESPN and a publishing deal under the stage name Kaya Ka$h. My_Kayla's music also appeared in the hit Netflix films ‘Senior Year’ and ‘Lyle, Lyle Crocodile’ and her song Sonata Slay was used for the trailer of the Disney+ series 'The Santa Clauses.’  

The clever bars plus fiery delivery on her EP Varsity Fresh and smash hit Dennis Rodman, drew comparison to Doja Cat, Latto and Drake. Since then she's had multiple single releases and continues to write for other artist. My_Kayla's legion of fans appreciate her unique style and sound. They agree she is a force to be recognized in hip-hop!
