At a very young age, Cork rapper KeSTine quickly became fascinated by music from the early 90s, and the essence of early hip hop, reggae and his idol, Michael Jackson. Kestine was often teased in primary school for his youthful admiration of Michael Jackson, which pushed him to begin rapping. Rap became an outlet that he used to vent out his frustrations. 

His solo EP ‘Reflection’ was released in April of 2021, and received high appraisal from Hot Press Magazine, Golden Plec, Irish Times , Echo live and the Irish examiner. The EP was followed up with the award winning music video for one of the tracks from the EP “ U.N.I.T.Y” which won the Best Hip-Hop Music Video at Rome Music Video Awards 2022. KeSTine has performed in  major Irish stages and festivals such as Electric Picnic, Indiependence and Three City Stages’ in Galway, and opened up for JLS member Aston Merrgold and is looking to take on 2024 with some more amazing performances and on track to releasing his third project entitled "Another Season"  in July of 2024.
