Early life
At the age of 2 his parents divorced and his dad him and his elder brother moved to Kampala.

At the age of 7, he started performing in the church choir with other kids however it didn’t last because both his dad and brother were against it .
Musical Inspiration
He’s musical inspirations started after P7 when his Dad bought him a radio set.
“This is when i started listening to mostly mainstream music and fell in love with the music’. he says.
Listening to people like Gift ov Kaddo, Micheal Ross, Allan Toniks made him fall in love with Urban RnB and Pop music.
internationally, Chris Brown and other American Artists also inspired him to hit the recording booth and shaped his sound of today.
Elder brother didn’t want him to Sing
In S2 he started having intentions of performing at school parties but couldn’t because the elder brother could not tolerate it at all.
‘As soon as he graduated, I felt relieved so i started performing at school parties with my best friend. Says Price Kiid.
He’s dream comes true in the US.
Price Kiid says that it was not until he came to the United States that He started taking music serious.
“Early 2016 i booked my first ever studio session and recorded a track titled “i won’t leave you”.
It was a collaboration with another African immigrant friend i had met in the US.
At this point, his singing abilities were not good at all but due to love and passion for music he didn’t stop.
This gave him more experience and had him experiment quite a number of Genres like R&B,Hip Hop, Pop and Afrobeat.
