==Early life and music career== Kingsley Chinweike Okonkwo was born on 18 April 1979. He has his roots in Uli, Anambra State, despite being born and raised in Lagos and growing up in Ajegunle. Growing up, Kcee was immersed in diverse musical styles, including reggae, highlife, and Afrobeat. Kcee's music career began in 1999 when he teamed up with Precious John, aka Presh, to form the dynamic duo KC Presh. Kcee and his longtime partner and friend Presh played as a duo for 12 years. They met in a church choir, and gained national recognition after winning the Star Quest talent show in 2002, a competition that showcased their talent to a broader audience. Following their win, KC Presh enjoyed some success in the Nigerian music scene, releasing the albums Sio Nkpo (2006) and Get Ready (2010) and gaining a moderate following. Their work together as music partners gave them both some recognition until 2011 when they split, both chasing separate careers.
