Kanye was raised in Atlanta for the first three years of his life, as his parents then divorced and he moved to Chicago, Illinois with his mother; Donda C. West was a professor of English language at Clark Atlanta University, while his father Ray West was once a member of the Marxist-Leninist and black power political organization Black Panther.

Kanye studied at Polaris School for Individual Education, but was 10 when he and his mother moved to China as she was invited to teach at Nanjing University. He’d already shown interest in the arts by that time; Kanye was five when he started writing poetry, and was nine when he began rapping. He matriculated in 1995, and then enrolled at American Academy of Art, eventually transferring to Chicago State University, but from which he dropped out aged 20.

Kanye’s journey to stardom began in the second half of the ‘90s as he ventured into the music industry as a producer; his early work included producing for artists such as Jay-Z, Alicia Keys and Ludacris, and he quickly gained recognition for his beats and unique sound.

In 2004, Kanye released his debut album “The College Dropout”, which made him popular overnight; the album was a critical and commercial success, earning widespread acclaim for its lyricism and introspective themes. Hit songs such as “Jesus Walks” and “Through the Wire” showed Kanye’s ability to blend social commentary with personal narratives, establishing him as a rising star in the hip hop industry.

With the release of his albums “Late Registration” in 2005 and “Graduation” in 2007, Kanye continued to push the boundaries of music, experimenting with diverse genres and collaborating with various artists.

Beyond his musical endeavors, Kanye’s made waves in the fashion industry with his Yeezy brand; launched in 2015, which quickly became popular with avant-garde design and high-end streetwear, disrupting the traditional boundaries of fashion and elevating Kanye to the status of a style icon. His collaborations with Adidas resulted in highly coveted sneakers that sold out within minutes of release, marking his success in both the music and fashion worlds.
