KickRaux was born in Portmore, Jamaica and raised in Miami, Florida. His early remixes led to a feature on MTV UK's The Wrap Up. KickRaux replaced the name Rieces Pieces under which he produced his first remix of M.I.A. featuring Jay Z "XXXO'". In 2012 he produced several dancehall remixes which led to radio play on BBC Radio 1Xtra and other international radio stations across Russia, France, Canada, Australia and the Caribbean. In 2013, KickRaux went back to EDM bass music to collaborate and release EDM remixes which received positive reviews and support from a number or publications (MTV Hive, Spin Magazine, Vibe, Peace Magazine, Pigeons & Planes, The Frontliner) and DJs of the genre (Flosstradamus, Dj Carnage, Nick Catchdubs, Dirty South Joe and Swizzymack). This led to a US city tour which included sharing the stage with Krewella and Brillz. In 2013 he partnered with MTV for an Exclusive Guest Mix.
