She is theyoungest of ten and, because her Daddy was a “rolling stone”, she had a bonus of five additional siblings. Growing up, she always wanted to be a high fashion model, but she wasn’t tall enough, so she did runway and print work to satisfy her desire. Married at the tender age of seventeen while still in high school, Kay left San Diego after graduation and moved with her new husband to Detroit, Michigan. While in Detroit, she took a job at the Detroit Zoological Park, where she was a security guard. After a year, she went back to California and attended Ventura College, earning her first of many degrees in the field of Psychology. She earned a Psychiatric Technician’s License from the State of California and worked at Camarillo State Hospital for fifteen years until it was closed down, and then was transferred to Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk, CA, where she remained until retiring ten years later. Kay decided to go back to school and received her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of La Verne. All of that was fine and good, but there was something else calling her. She eventually explored a career in acting. She got signed up with a talent agency and booked her first acting job in a film called “Lost Star” by Johnny Cox Productions. She also was Assistant Director. After completing several other projects in the entertainment industry, Kay was pulled into the family business, Tip of the Iceberg Entertainment, where she has a natural flair for wheeling and dealing with her cousins and their extremely talented group of hip hop artists. She’s the fresh, new force driving Tha Monstaz to greater heights and looking forward to an amazing future. Kay is a Lady Monsta and proud of it.
