college radio production class into music business 101. Instead of
completing assignments he used his studio time to record songs that
spread around his APU campus. After leaving college and returning to

the region. Self releasing, promoting and managing his career Kidd has
had his music videos played on MTV2, MTV Jams, placed over 25 songs on TV including the TV theme song to Ring of Honor Wrestling “Rush RockRemix.”  That same music video caught the attention of Sonja Norwoodmother/manager of Brandy & Ray J. Her guidance lead Kidd to working with Cisco Adler. Together and with collaborator Ross Golan they
crafted an epic EP titled “Pulaski Day.” Before the EP has even been
released its already had 2 singles licensed to an upcoming Skate Board
focused android game being put out by www.distinctivegames.com.
