The Kid Nyge

The Kid Nyge is a young rap artist born and raised in Arizona. Nyge, also known as Nigel Bruce, was born to his born to 2 loving parents along with a couple older siblings. Ever since Nyge was little he has been ambitious and pursued every goal he set for him self. Nyge grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with his mother, father, older brother, and older sister. As he grew he became interested in Skateboarding. Nigel was a very talented skateboarder in fact while he was spending every day working and putting in effort into his skating he received sponsorships from companies such as, Wonderland Skate Co. and Empowered Clothing. Skateboarding happen to connect The Kid Nyge with a young, local photographer, Matt Campbell. They became close friends because of skateboarding and noticed that they both had a common hobby. They both wanted to create original music. Matt and Nigel worked together through their Freshman year in high school recording pointless tracks in the closet of Matt's bedroom. The tracks weren't properly constructed nor recorded with decent equipment but it was all a learning process. Nyge had learned that Skateboarding wasn't his only talent. Nyge had a voice that was perfect for creating hip hop music. As time went by Matt began upgrading his equipment and learning new techniques from a couple professionals. Dj MENIone and J U Nyce were 2 individuals that played a big role in the musical development of Campbell's Engineering and producing. Nyge and Matt disconnected for a while but eventual Nyge insisted on getting back in the booth and Matt was blown away. "Nyge had improved so much since the last time we worked together, I was shocked!" Campbell states. From that point on Nigel decided that rap was a career he was going to pursue. Nigel had no problem with coming up with a stage name for himself. He simply used a childhood nick name "Nige" but Matt suggested that he dropped the "i" and used "Y" instead. It stuck. The Kid Nyge had a reputation that was rapidly growing throughout the school. As Matt becoming Nyge's official manager Matt suggested that they start targeting a larger crowd, so Nyge and Matt began reaching out to fans all over AZ. In the Summer of 2011 Matt came into contact with another rap artist looking to go somewhere with his music, Skyy Rayy. Skyy Rayy was another talented artist who was looking for a manager and at the time Matt seemed like the clear choice. Skyy Rayy (Skylar Vasquez) began working closely with Matt as well. As they became closer friends Skylar introduced him to his previous manager Tariq Martinez. Together the 3 of them had some great ideas. Tariq approached Matt one day asking what it would take to start and run a Record Label to back the artists they were currently working with. Matt walked them through the legal process of making this label legit. Together they formed Under the Influence Records. All of them had something different to contribute to the label and they all began working together closely trying to do everything they can to make it in the music idustry. Now with Matt managing Nyge he made sure to introduce him to Skyy and Tariq and suggested that Nyge should be one of the artists signed with the label. They all agreed and Nyge was given his first contract with an official record label.

The label seemed strong and had a great thing going, with a few minor issues, but after only a few short months an argument broke out and the team split. Matt felt that the way things were being ran at UTI was ineffective and decided to venture off and create his own. As Matt departed from the group many of the artists came along, seeing as how they liked the ideas Matt had to offer and wanted to help make it work. Street Wize, another UTI artist, suggested the name Fame Recordz and Matt liked it. The 2 of them entered an equal partnership starting a label that will hopefully go much smoother than the previous one. Obviously Nyge came along. With Nyge signed to Fame Recordz he plans to expand much larger than just locally. Nyge has his mind set. He wants to make it to the top, just as much as Matt and Street Wize do. Nyge plans to reach out to the entire nation with his new mixtape that is currently set to release around Christmas time, Skys the Limit.
