Gentry Kay (Rap Artist)

Gentry Kay is a hip hop rap artist from Napoleonville, LA. Born Gentry Kirby Hirsch on August 23, 1992 at Thibodaux General Hospital. He began writing poetry and stories in the second grade without a thought that it would be looked upon by many peers and pupils. After hearing and seeing his cousin rap and write songs he wanted to try, his first rap written was "Don't Let Me Down". As a 12 year old discovering a new outlet was easy especially through music. In Middle school his stories and poems began to get deeper and darker with more pain and aggression, but he never stops pushing the evolope to push his music further. He figures a good way for him to get heard was to battle other kids on the playground during recess. Some would tease him telling him he can't rap and others would cheer him on. He made his first recording on an cell phone memo recorder with 50 cent's "many men instrumental" playing in the background. Soon he gradually started using the home desktop with a build in software called "Sound Recorder" at that moment he made his first cd with 3 songs. As the years progressed he began using a well known software called "Mix craft" there he recorded more than a 100 songs. After graduating high school he decided to go school and pursue a different dream, but the music kept calling him back. By the time he turn 20 he went back in the studio with a different approach rapping gospel. It didn't last that long because he felt like he had to tell his story the truth about his troubles and how the pain he felt was so unbearable to talk about. A year later he made another drastic change in his music to push forth the hurt, pain, and disappointment. Now he is not just rapping he is telling his life story in every song. He hopes to make a break in the music industry very soon.
