He has collaborated with producers and vocalists such as [[Vybz Kartel]], [[Major Lazer]], [[Tyga]], [[Wizkid (musician)|Wizkid]], [[Machel Montano]], [[Chronixx]], [[Konshens]], [[Busta Rhymes]], [[Charly Black]], [[Demarco (musician)|Demarco]] and is known for his remixes of artists such as [[Migos]], [[Jay Z]], [[Mila J]], Kranium & [[M.I.A. (rapper)|M.I.A.]] Major Lazer frontman [[Diplo]] referred to KickRaux as "one of (his) favorite new producers." In early 2014, KickRaux was credited with coining the term ''Future Dancehall'', which refers to his style of music productions.


== Early life ==
Kickraux consists of two awesome producers from Tampa, FL and Atlanta, GA that go by the names of Rieces Pieces and Qwond3r. Both are awesome trap dancehall producers, so put them together and you have the perfect blend of rowdy, party-starting, bass-pulsing music that is a hybrid of trap, moombahton, electro and house. If you’re a music fan who loves when various genres come together, then KickRaux is what you’ve been waiting for your whole life. Having produced for 2 Chainz, Jay Z, MIA, and Gucci Mane, these two are on the come-up as some of the hottest producers around.<ref name="thefrontliner"/>
KickRaux was born in [[Portmore, Jamaica|Portmore]], [[Jamaica]] and raised in [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami]], Florida. His early remixes led to a feature on [[MTV (UK and Ireland)|MTV UK]]'s ''The Wrap Up''. KickRaux replaced the name Rieces Pieces under which he produced his first remix of M.I.A. featuring Jay Z "XXXO'". In 2012 he produced several [[dancehall]] remixes which led to radio play on [[BBC Radio 1Xtra]] and other international radio stations across Russia, France, Canada, Australia and the Caribbean. In 2013, KickRaux went back to EDM bass music to collaborate and release EDM remixes which received positive reviews and support from a number or publications (''[[MTV Hive]]'',<ref name="MTVHive"/> ''[[Spin Magazine]]'', Vibe,<ref name="vibe"/> Peace Magazine,<ref name="peacemagazineone"/><ref name="peacemagazinetwo"/> Pigeons & Planes, The Frontliner<ref name="thefrontliner2">{{cite journal|author=Raychel Espiritu|year=2013|title=Interview: KickRaux|journal=The Frontliner|url=http://thefrontliner.com/interviews/artist-interview/interview-kickraux-17518|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203011359/http://thefrontliner.com/interviews/artist-interview/interview-kickraux-17518|archivedate=2013-12-03}}</ref>) and DJs of the genre ([[Flosstradamus]], Dj Carnage, Nick Catchdubs, Dirty South Joe and Swizzymack).

He also partnered with MySpace for a front page release premiere


== Later work ==
Rieces Pieces a native of Portmore, Jamaica was raised in Florida. Rieces Pieces’ eclectic musical roots can be traced back to the beaches of Spanish Town and the bass music of the Miami club scene. Early remixes and genre bending releases led to a feature on MTV UK’s The Wrap Up. In 2012, several highly successful dance hall remixes led to radio play on BBC Radio 1Xtra and other international radio stations across Russia, France, Canada & Australia and the Caribbean.
