He grew up playing guitar and singing for anyone who would listen. His impressive skills are proof of long hours spent producing music at a bluegrass recording studio coupled with his passion for making music that make people feel like drinking whiskey around a campfire.
MyKey is underway with writing, recording, producing, mixing, and mastering his second full length album in his LA residence. Inspired by Tyler, The Creator’s honest and daring style, this album will be a mix of MyKey’s folk sound with more modern production and pop elements. In addition he’ll be debuting new stop-motion animation videos for each track.

Mykey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really thought we were friends
But you just, you do be out here betraying me and sh-, um
Okay, bye
Bitch, move please, I need to go fast
Break hearts like a 30 meter dash
My heart needs a set of kneepads
Bitch, move please, I need to go fast
Break hearts like a 30 meter dash
My heart needs a set of kneepads
I keep falling and it ain't gon' be my last
No room, no table for two
I feel squeezed like the soles of my shoes, yeah
Take a guess and guess again
I know that you think I'm a mess
But that's just really your friends
Yeah, I'm tryna skate real late
Don't worry, yeah, just kill the brakes, no mistakes
Or I'ma feel this all again in the morning
Yeah, come sunrise, I'ma be snoring
Bitch, move please, I need to go fast
Break hearts like a 30 meter dash
My heart needs a set of kneepads
I keep falling and it ain't gon' be my last
Two things I forgot to mention
Who the fuck don't bring a dish to the function?
And possibly, these are my weaknesses all packaged into poetry
What a shitty anthology, I mean, shit
I love the way you talk about nothing at all
I'm tryna work this out, but it's not your fault
Bitch, move please, I need to go fast (zoom-zoom)
Break hearts like a 30 meter dash (The Olympics)
My heart needs a set of kneepads (okay)
I keep falling and it ain't gon' be my last
I love the way you talk about nothing at all
I love the way you talk about nothing at all
The lyrics to Mykey's song "Kneepads" are a mix of frustration and determination. The initial lines express a feeling of betrayal from someone the singer thought was a friend. However, the rest of the song seems to be more focused on the struggle of maintaining romantic relationships. Mykey employs a racing metaphor throughout the song, referring to the act of breaking hearts as a 30-meter dash. He also repeatedly emphasizes the need for kneepads, implying that he's been hurt before and doesn't want to continue experiencing that pain.
The chorus is a plea for space and speed, with Mykey using the phrase "move please" to demand freedom of movement. This sentiment is echoed in the lines, "I'm tryna skate real late / Don't worry, yeah, just kill the brakes, no mistakes / Or I'ma feel this all again in the morning." Mykey wants to move fast and avoid any obstacles that might trip him up emotionally. He acknowledges his own weaknesses in the second verse, admitting that he can be a mess but that it's not entirely his fault. Despite the frustration and pain expressed in the lyrics, there's a sense of hope that Mykey can work through his issues and find happiness.
