“Human’ is about a time in my life when someone very close to me really let me down. It opened my eyes to the realization that even the people you love, and who love you, can deeply hurt you.”

– Kyd

Hailing from northern California, Kyd the Band relocated to Nashville after a two-year stint in LA to hone his craft as a recording artist and writer. He quickly distinguished himself as a rising voice within the pop genre, landing cuts with artists such as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Robin Schulz, gnash, NF, and ROZES.

Today marks the release of his debut major label single Human, a beat-driven track that
showcases his signature sound. Penned about the demise of a close friendship, Kyd poses the question, “Why’d you have to be human?” The song’s hard-hitting lyrics evoke a feeling of vulnerability, acknowledging our propensity to hurt the ones we love. The music video supplements the song’s nostalgic sentiment with vivid imagery and a heart-wrenching storyline.

Offering a sound that is fresh, unique and compelling, Kyd the Band is guaranteed to elicit excitement across a diverse array of audiences. Set to release new music under Sony/Four music, he is positioned to continue his ascent as a pertinent young pop artist.
