Mic Check Wynwood is officially announcing its Season 3 distribution deal, and we had the honor of interviewing Lyonel "Kay-K" Rosemond, who is offering a distribution deal via RMG/Sony/Orchard. Additionally, Rosemond will serve as a judge for Season 3.
Lyonel "Kay-K" Rosemond has had a fascinating journey in the music industry. Born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, in the late seventies, he was deeply influenced by the soul singers of the 70s, including Marvin Gaye, Al Green, and Otis Redding. However, as hip-hop began to rise, he found himself drawn into the scene, which ultimately shaped his career.

Initially, Rosemond pursued a career in cartoon illustration, even enrolling in a school for it, with dreams of working for Marvel Comics. However, his career took a turn in 1994 when his uncle, Jimmy Henchman Rosemond, introduced him to the music industry. This opportunity led him to Motown, where he worked in A&R, collaborating with artists such as Erykah Badu, Chico DeBarge, Lil’ Wayne, The Temptations, and Joe.
Rosemond has always emphasized the business side of music, understanding that many artists do not live the lives they portray. His experience with Erykah Badu was particularly meaningful, as he admired her authentic approach to music creation.
