==Early Life==
Kent Loon was born in Bogota, Colombia on July 25, 1996 to a Chinese father and Colombian mother. Loon's father, a successful business owner in Colombia, caught the attention of local guerilla fighters who began to threaten Loon's father. At the age of four, Loon and his mother fled Colombia for the United States of America due to threats of extortion and kidnapping. After moving around different parts of Florida, Loon and his family settled in St. Petersburg just as he was starting middle school. 
==Career==
Loon started rapping and making music in middle school while living in St. Petersburg.. As a sophomore at Pinellas Pine High School, Loon met fellow Nü Age Syndicate co-founder, Chester Watson, and the two quickly bonded over their love for rap. Loon would also meet producer Kanisono (Shane Phadraig) and Nick Preradovic to form the nucleus of Nü Age. Loon has released songs featuring Gold and Platinum Award winning artists, including Valee.
After high school, Loon followed Watson to P.O.W. Recordings. The pair recorded and released a joint EP titled Spring Mirage in 2016 . Loon later released his debut project, Stay Low, in 2017. Stay Low featured Loon's high school friend Watson as a producer on 12 of the tracks and a performing artist on four. 
Loon released multiple singles following Stay Low, including "Rome" (featuring Chester Watson) in 2018 which garnered over 2.4 million plays on Spotify. Loon's single "Rax" (2020) earned nearly 1.3 million Spotify streams and headlines Loon's sophomore project, Endless Nights (2020)
Loon released his third project, Bittersweet, on October 28, 2021 featuring multiple collaborators, including 03 Greedo, Valee, Chester Watson, Yung Simmie, and Trapland Pat. 
Loon's most recent project, Swamp Water, was released on July 25, 2024 and was dubbed as one of the best hip-hop albums of July 2024 on Bandcamp. The single, “Free YSL” from the album earned recognition as a song you need to hear in your life by TheFader. The album pays homage to Loon's upbringing in St. Petersburg and takes listeners on a "dazzlingly bright tour through the danger zones of South Florida," according to Loon's label, P.O.W. Recordings.
