Born and raised in Tennessee, Kemi$try was destined to be a singer, rapper, and songwriter before she even realized it.  “I’ve been writing since I was a kid… I started off writing poems, but I didn’t take it seriously until I became an adult,” she explained. She became a full-fledged author writing Susie Long Legs, a children’s book about a girl who was teased and bullied for her beautiful, long, skinny legs. In 2018, she published Emma and the Sea Creatures. But for her, that still wan’t enough. “I believed in myself so much, she explained. “I wanted to take my writing skills further, so I started writing songs again.” Now she’s putting her energy into drafting fire lyrics and punching in power bars in the studio. She recently dropped her hot new track entitled, “Make it Jump Sis”.  The single is an anthem of the liberation and celebration of feminine thickness.

Kemi$try’s new single, Make it Jump Sis and her other two bangers, Get it Like Russell ft. Kdezy and I Got That Fire are out now and available on all major platforms.
