Early life


Kaytranada was born Louis Kevin Celestin on August 25, 1992 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Shortly after he was born, his family relocated to Montreal where he was raised. Kaytranada began to DJ at the age of 14. The following year, at the age of 15, Kaytranada began to produce after his brother introduced him to FL Studio.[5][6]



Career

Kaytranada has released a total of thirteen projects and forty-one remixes. Kaytranada has toured more than 50 Canadian, American, European and Australian cities.[7][8][9][10]


During 2015, Kaytranada opened for two nights of Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour, one in Canada and one in the United States.[11]
