North West (musician)

The following month, she performed "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" at the Hollywood Bowl's The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event.

She announced her debut album, Elementary School Dropout, at a March 10 performance in Arizona plugging ¥$'s second album Vultures 2; the title referenced Kanye's 2004 album The College Dropout.

She then gave an interview to the then-thirteen-year-old Jazlyn of Jazzy's World TV at Rolling Loud, and then in April 2024, ¥$ uploaded a second music video for the track, which had been co-directed and written by North, and featured scenes of her with Kanye and with a group of people her own age.

North West (born June 15, 2013) is an American musician.

A member of the Kardashian family, she featured in the music video for her father Kanye West's "Only One" and appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a reality television series featuring her parents West and Kim Kardashian.

In 2023, she voiced Mini in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, and the following year, she featured on ¥$'s "Talking / Once Again", which charted at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.

North West was born at 5:34 am on June 15, 2013, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California to Kanye West, a rapper, and Kim Kardashian, a television personality and a daughter of Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner.

North's maternal aunts and uncle are Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Rob Kardashian, and her maternal half-aunts are Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

West's parents became engaged in October 2013, married in May 2014, separated in February 2021 following Kanye West's unsuccessful 2020 presidential run, and divorced in 2022, by which time North had two younger brothers and a younger sister.

West's due date was July 12, 2013, which would have been the 64th birthday of Kanye's mother Donda West, and her early delivery meant she spent time in an incubator.

She was christened North on the grounds that it meant "highest point", though Kim preferred the name Kaidence; an early article from Media Take Out reported that her name was Kaidence Donda West.

North's actual name was leaked by TMZ, who published her birth certificate.

She was baptised at the Armenian Apostolic Church at the Cathedral of Saint James in Jerusalem in April 2015 during a tour of the Middle East, and attended Sierra Canyon School, which had previously been attended by Kendall and Kylie.

Growing up, West was involved a number of her parents' ventures; she appeared in the music video for Kanye's "Only One" in January 2015, while in April 2016, Kardashian used an episode of her sister's chat show Kocktails with Khloé to note that North had flushed an iPhone containing an early draft of Kanye's album The Life of Pablo down the toilet, leading Kanye to have to re-record it from scratch.

She also made appearances on her family's programme Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

In March 2023, Kim applied for several trademarks in North's name, and in September 2023, North, Saint, and Kim voiced Mini, Meteor Max, and Delores in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.

The following month, by which time she had accompanied her mother to multiple events in Los Angeles and abroad, she gave a solo interview to i-D, in which she expressed several of her hopes and dreams.

In February 2024, Kanye West released a video for "Talking / Once Again", a track by ¥$, a supergroup comprising himself and Ty Dolla Sign, which included a rap verse from North; upon release later that month as part of the band's album Vultures 1, North's contribution was noted by NME as a rare highlight of an otherwise relentlessly misogynistic album.

Later that month, the track charted at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, and she performed it at Accor Arena.
