In this episode, I explore the music, background and experiences that shaped the distinctive style of talented multi-artist, DKG KIE. I learned about DKG KIE through artist, producer and talent developer Velvet Force, and I wanted to learn more about this multitalented man of God.
KIE’s music is very raw and authentic, so I had to find out about his background, and the experiences that shaped his style.
Church boy turned bad boy, DKG KIE, found himself in a tough spot. He was close to being killed or going to jail, but life took a different turn. After reconnecting to God, KIE found his calling as a youth pastor and he said he, “literally made a mistake and started rapping,” but turns out it wasn’t a mistake at all.
Listen to the rest of our conversation below.
“Demon Killer University” is a 15-track album that features “Holy Huh.” KIE stated that there are many women who love Jesus and also enjoy jewelry and nice clothes. They still go out and have fun, but loving Jesus is the core of who they are, and that is not highlighted enough. KIE’s song is a tribute to these women who love Jesus and are proud to do so.
We also chatted about the single “Take the Wheel.” KIE confesses that he and many of his peers are finding out that they are all learning that we have to take our hands off the wheel and off the gas pedal because we can’t do it on our own. (“We” includes yours truly as well.)
KIE’s new project, “Demon Killer University” is available now on all streaming platforms. Follow him on DKG.KIE on Instagram, DKG.KIE Official on TikTok, and on YouTube search DKG KIE.
