In high school, Roy Rutto’s parents separated thus Roy leaving the motivation to sing in the church choir in favor of the usual high school festivities. After experiencing the life of partying and indulging himself in self sabotaging behavior, Rutto’s focus drastically shifted to one of goal-driven productivity. Honing in his sound Rutto spent 2016 & 2017 mastering and sharpening his craft, manifesting his own individual delivery and lyricism. Unorthodox perfectly sums up his sound with him pulling influence from his family, his home in Kenya and the diversity of art around the world. It's no wonder boxing him into a lane is close to impossible.
