Early life

Career

He had a mentor who molded him into a writer and sharpened his flows. Kayvo Kforce decided to rap because Kibera by then had no notable Hip hop artistes, so he saw this as an opportunity to put his ghetto on the map the best way he knows. He has worked with producers in the industry like Tedd Josiah and Ambrose and also worked with East African musicians like Solo Thang, Kalamashaka, K-South, Chiwawa, Khaligraph Jones, Smallz Lethal, Abbas and many other Kenyan artistes.

Kayvo is also keen on giving back to the community as he went to Dandora to show love and support to the youth by helping them become the best in life through music and mentorship . He has collaborated with artistes like Maluda (musician), Octopizzo, Khaligraph Jones, Zj Heno, Lon Jon and also was a part of the Coke Studio Africa Cypher[2] where he shared the stage with M.I Abaga, Nazizi, Khaligraph Jones and Bamboo.
