K. Flay Net Worth $1 million
To begin with, K. Flay spent her childhood in a suburb of Chicago; her parents divorced when she was seven years old. During her last year of her school, her father who played guitar and influenced her style of music, died; for this reason, many songs of her debut album are dedicated to her father. In 2003, she began studying Psychology and Sociology at Stanford University, from which she graduated in 2006. It was during her university years that she first began to write rap lyrics.
Concerning her professional career, her first mixtape “Suburban Rap Queen” was published in 2004 – it should be said that the mixtape was produced on K. Flay’s laptop! From 2008 to 2014, she released several more mixtapes, including “I Stopped Caring in ’96”. Then she left her music label RCA Records to realize her dream of a studio album – the label is said to have objected to the release of a studio album since apparently no one was interested. In the middle of 2014, K. Flay released her debut studio album “Life As a Dog”, in which she newly combined elements of rap, electronic music, and indie genres of pop music; the album reached 2nd position on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart, as well as 14th position on the Billboard Rap Albums Chart.
After the release of the album, K.Flay went on tour, partly to promote her work. In 2014 and 2015, the tour covered Germany, France and other European countries, certainly enhancing her net worth.
In 2015, K.Flay collaborated with Louis the Child on the song “It’s Strange”, praised by Taylor Swift who qualified the song to be one of his songs that make life exceptional; the song reached 38th position on the Billboard Hot Dance / Electronic Songs chart. In the middle of 2016, K. Flay announced that she had signed for Night Street Records, a division of Interscope Records, and her EP “Crush Me” was released 10 days later, and then Flay launched her album “Every Where Is Some Where” in 2017, including her single “High Enough”.
To conclude, all the above mentioned engagements have increased the net worth of K. Flay.
Finally, in the personal life of the singer, she is probably single, as there aren’t even any rumours regarding romantic associations. Flay is also active on social networking sites having more than 52,100 followers on Twitter, and 110,000 on Instagram.
