Surrounded by music growing up, her interest in the art form only grew with time. By the time she was nine years old, she had started to experiment with writing her own songs. As a student, she went to Hayward High School, one of the oldest schools in the city.

Inspired by the work of Bow Wow, Kamaiyah soon began to write beats of her own. Pouring more time into the hobby, she later formed a music group with a few of her guy friends which they called, The Big Money Gang. Despite the fact that they shared many recording sessions together, it ultimately did not work out. Eventually parting ways, each of the members went on to work on a solo career, including Kamaiyah.

At the age of 23, the aspiring rapper hit it big with her breakout single, How Does it Feel. Despite having been written in just fifteen minutes, it quickly became a critical success. Recorded at Faultline Studios in San Francisco, it was released as a digital download on October 19, 2015. Made available for streaming on Soundcloud, the track has since racked up over 552,000 plays on the site. On Youtube, the official MV has also been viewed close to 3 million times.

Continuing to release new singles over the next few years, she eventually dropped her debut mixtape, A Good Night in the Ghetto on March 14, 2016.

Featuring guest appearances from YG, Say’ M, and her crew over at Big Money Gang, the 16-track project gave rise to the songs, One Love, For My Dawg, Freaky Freaks, Mo Money Mo Problem, Hoochie Hotline (Interlude), I’m On, and Out of the Bottle. On Soundcloud, the playlist has already been streamed millions of times as of 2017 (the most popular being Fuck It Up with 5.28 million streams).

More recently, the rapper released the single, Build You Up on July 7, 2017.
