Born Noah Christopher Krueger in 2005 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kae discovered his passion for music at a young age. By the age of 5, he was already singing, and by 11, he began recording his own music. He and his friends released music under “Darkside Records” for about a year before Kae took a break.

In March 2020, Kae returned to music, releasing tracks on SoundCloud, where he quickly gained thousands of plays. By June 2021, he expanded to all major streaming platforms.

On January 14th, 2022, Kae dropped his controversial song Milwaukeen, a tribute to his friend who passed just a month earlier. The song was featured in an Instagram story by Billboard and appeared on several large Spotify playlists, helping Kae gain a small following, particularly on Instagram and TikTok, where he promoted the track during live streams.

On July 1st, 2022, at just 17 years old, Kae released the music video for his song Deals, which solidified his name in the U.S., making him the only artist under 18 who was drawing significant attention.

During his senior year of high school, on March 26th, 2023, Kae released Fading, a song that resonated with fans as he discussed his struggles with mental health and the realization that material possessions and wealth don’t bring true happiness. The song reflected his feelings of things he once loved slowly “fading away.”

Nearly two years later, on February 21st, 2025, Kae returned with his single Red Light, a heartbreak masterpiece that explores the different stages of his emotions. The track sparked conversations across multiple Hip-Hop social media pages, leaving fans eagerly wondering what he has in store next.
