Kielley Koyote located in Newfoundland Canada, began his curiosity with hip hop when he was evoked by the lyrical freedom and diversity of Earl Sweatshirt which prompted him to write in a style like no other. With heavy inspiration from horror movies and witchcraft. Kielley Koyote's music is described as a "verbal back rub" using elements of trip hop, house, lofi, as well as avante garde.
The power behind lyrics is something Kielley Koyote has always brooded over. "I want my lyrics to portray how I feel in a cryptic way." Kielley Koyote spends his time listening to any and all types of music in hopes of discovering the next monumental inspiration.
"Josh Kielley aka Kielley Koyote might look like he could growl into a mic, but he offers razor-sharp wit and rhymes about his own life and weaknesses." - Rolling Stones In.

Rolling Stones India - Top 10 Finds
"Our Top 10 Finds" Rolling Stones India review of the Live at Heart music conference in Sweden. With over 200 acts and 15 from Canada alone, Kielley makes it into TOP 10 in Rolling Stones India. The only act from North America mentioned in this review of the global showcase, and one of only two rappers mentioned!
Throughout this conference Kielley performed 3 times in Sweden, once for the Blackbelt Songwriters camp showcase; where he had 3 days to write, produce, and perform a song with two people he had just met. He collaborated on a handfull of projects with other artists durring the week. Also he performed two Kielley Koyote live performances, so we're not suprised he cought someones attention.
