At 14, Kumar was determined to stand out amongst his basketball-playing, orator-aspiring school peers and so he fired up YouTube tutorials and picked up music production. His moniker WCKiD started off in August 2019 and hit over a 148,000 streams with the house-leaning “Waiting For You,” featuring fellow Indian producer Hysaze aka Harshit Singh.
