Emerging out of Miami, Florida, representing the 305, get familiar with MK305, also known as Miami Killa. Raised in a family where responsibility, resilience, and perseverance were part of everyday life, MK305’s story is shaped by the experiences that helped make him the person and artist he is today.
Raised by his grandparents before eventually moving in with his mother, MK305 grew up in a large family. His mother was a single parent raising four children, three godchildren, and cousins who became part of their household after losing their mother. Family played a major role in his upbringing, and finding his voice became one of the earliest parts of his identity. At just three years old, he gave his first speech, and by five, he was already performing a Martin Luther King Jr. speech in front of an audience. Expressing himself came naturally, and that ability would eventually carry over into music.
Growing up in Miami, he spent time at places like 56 Club Protege, Northwest Boys and Girls Club, and throughout the streets of Liberty City and the Miami housing projects. Those environments, along with the people and experiences surrounding him, helped shape his perspective and gave him real-life experiences to draw from.
MK305 began making music at just nine years old. Growing up listening to artists like Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Chief Keef, he developed an appreciation for different sounds and approaches to music. However, his own life experiences became an even bigger source of inspiration. Becoming a father to two children at just 19 years old gave him a different perspective on life and added another level of purpose to his journey.
His sound brings together Miami energy, melody, and honest storytelling. Whether he’s creating something built for the party or speaking on faith, fatherhood, relationships, personal struggles, and perseverance, MK305 wants his music to connect with listeners on different levels. His goal is to give people something they can enjoy while also creating records they can personally relate to.
Much of his released music has been recorded and produced by Tara Britt, while he has also worked with several studios throughout Miami and Orlando. Continuing to develop his sound and expand his reach, MK305 is building a catalog that reflects both his personality and the experiences behind the music.
His most recent release, “Paint a Picture,” is available on all streaming platforms. Describing the record as a representation of who he is, MK305 brings his personality and turn-up energy to the forefront, giving listeners a better understanding of what he brings to the table.
As he continues working on new music and building the MK305 brand, he remains focused on staying consistent and moving forward. Through it all, he gives God the glory and makes sure to acknowledge the people who have stood beside him, especially his grandparents, children, GABEENT family, and everyone who continues to support his music and performances.
Representing Miami and carrying his experiences into every record, MK305 is continuing to create his own lane. With faith, family, and determination behind him, he’s focused on taking his name and music to new heights.
