Kevin Galván, widely known as GK, was born in Monterrey, Mexico. His musical journey started at age 14 with FL Studio, and his YouTube tutorials gained him two million views and a following of 10,000. At 20, he opened his own studio, and in 2020, he and Cv33 took on Gary Vee's challenge to create a new song daily for a year, resulting in 366 songs.

In 2022, GK signed with Hear This Music, founded by DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz. His debut included hits like "S.Q.LO" by Nesi with Jowell and Randy, "Nadie Nos Vio" by Ryan Castro, and "Mayor Que Usted" by Natti Natasha with Wisin y Yandel and Daddy Yankee, which topped the Billboard Latino chart, earning him a platinum producer title.

GK's journey showcases the potential of dedication—from a young enthusiast into a recognized music producer—and is a testament to the endless possibilities in music.
