sKitz Kraven aka (Evan D. Kijek) was born on July 9th, 1994 in Madison Wisconsin. Growing up listening and idolizing music, Kraven knew he would one day be an artist. From the age of 4 he started playing the piano, drums, and many other percussion instruments. Getting into music at a young age helped his knowledge with sound. During his middle school years, Kraven soon fell in love with the rap game. Through high school he started not only falling for the game itself, but also the street life that came with it. At the age of 16 Kraven was starting to experience some mental and emotional challenges including addiction and mental illness. Dealing with those roadblocks, Kraven started looking for ways to cope. At 18 he made writing music his therapy. “I would put my pain, anger, excitement, and emotions into all of my writings and turned them into poetry, into a story.” said Kraven. That is when he knew rap was his calling.
