Crossed Outby Kilamanzego

Though Philly-based producer Kilamanzego (pronounced “kill a man’s ego”) picked up her first instrument at an early age, she had an affinity for the written word before developing the passion for music that led to co-founding the Backyard Bxss live beat showcase and smth savant records. “It’s funny, I started off not really listening to music,” she admits. “I didn’t really like it to be honest with you. I was just a big old book nerd.” -Gino Sorcinelli, Medium
