Kanye West (Ye)

Early Life and Education

Kanye Omari West was born on June 8, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Ray West and Dr. Donda West. His father, a former Black Panther, later became a Christian counselor and opened the Good Water Store and Café with startup capital from his son. His mother was a professor of English at Clark Atlanta University before becoming the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University, eventually retiring to manage Kanye's career.

After his parents divorced when he was three, Kanye moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. This relocation was pivotal, as Chicago's rich musical heritage deeply influenced his artistic development. At the age of 10, Kanye moved with his mother to Nanjing, China, where she was teaching as a Fulbright Scholar. Despite being the only foreigner in his class, Kanye quickly adapted, though he has since forgotten most of the language.
