In the small city of Sharon, Pennsylvania, a powerful story of transformation is unfolding. Brandon Slattery, better known as Kcrichh, isn’t just making music – he’s turning pain into poetry, trauma into triumph, and his life story into a testament of resilience.
At 15, Slattery’s world turned upside down when he lost his mother. The grief that followed pushed him down a dangerous path: dropping out of school, selling drugs to support his family, and turning to prescription pills to numb the pain. But what could have been another tragic statistic became something else entirely when he discovered his true calling.
“Music saved my life,” Slattery says with raw honesty. “I treat the mic like my therapist. If it wasn’t for music, I’d be dead or in jail.”
The path wasn’t easy. After losing his mother, Slattery endured more heartbreak when his best friend passed away the following year. The hits kept coming – three more losses in a single summer threatened to break his spirit. But instead of letting the darkness consume him, he channeled it into his art.
Working with producer Concern, Kcrichh has developed a sound that’s uniquely his own. Their collaboration has already produced notable tracks like “Top of the Loft,” which showcases their natural chemistry in the studio. His recent project “The Beginning of the End,” released in late 2024, marks a new chapter in his career, featuring tracks like “Heatin Up” and “Perkin” that draw from his real-life experiences.
The latter part of 2024 proved to be a turning point for Kcrichh when he signed with a management team, marking his first major step into the professional music industry. It’s a move that validates years of independent grinding, countless studio sessions, and the unwavering belief in his vision.
“2025 is the year all my hard work pays off,” Kcrichh declares with the quiet confidence of someone who’s already overcome impossible odds. His goals are ambitious but grounded in the same determination that’s gotten him this far – global tours, Grammy awards, and establishing his own record label to help other artists tell their stories.
But perhaps most importantly, Kcrichh wants his success to be a lighthouse for others struggling in the darkness. His music speaks to those fighting their own battles, offering hope through authenticity. Every track is a reminder that pain can be transformed into purpose.
For those looking to follow Kcrichh’s journey, his music is available on all major platforms under the name Kcrichh, including Spotify and YouTube, with his Instagram (@Kcrichh) offering a window into his continuing story.
In a music industry often criticized for its superficiality, Kcrichh stands out not just for his talent, but for his truth. His story reminds us that sometimes the most powerful music comes not from the pursuit of fame, but from the need to survive, to heal, and ultimately, to help others do the same.
