Peter "Achromatik" Kay was born and raised in Sterling Heights, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. He started music at a very young age, playing only rock music. At the time, he was against hip-hop music and saw it all as talentless and annoying. When he turned the age of 17 he wrote a joke electro hip-hop song called "No, I Got That Phone" just to show how easy it was. After creating that song, he instantly became hooked on hip-hop music. He then went on to write a 6 song EP called "Reflections". He released the EP on Myspace hoping to get feedback but he never received any. He then stopped writing hip-hop and continued to work with his band "Meet My Phantoms". On August 1st, 2009, Meet My Phantoms decided to end their band. When that happened, Achromatik went through a few other bands that all eventually had the same fate. Then in July 2010, he got together with Dan Kelly and formed a hip-hop/electro group called Phoenix Fire. Phoenix Fire released a EP entitled "Go Forth, Succeed", in which it had mild success. They played 9 shows together, released one EP, were sponsored by Epyon Royal and even attempted to collaborate with Chris Moore from I See Stars. But then, Achromatik started to get into the hip-hop scene, which ended up causing him to end Phoenix Fire. They played their final show at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit. Still sponsored by Epyon Royal, Achromatik went his own way to write music. During the next few months he would write and record a few songs, until he crossed paths with Kuniva of D12. Kuniva talked about conviction to Achromatik, explaining that he need more of it to show people his abilities. Achromatik also met Maestro Williams, a hype man for the group D12 and owner of Silent Riot Entertainment. Achromatik would continue write more and more songs, none that really stood out and he would leave his current sponsorship Epyon Royal. He would try many different flows and styles until he found the perfect one. Achromatik finally saw a glimpse of it in his first release "Odd-I-See". After Odd-I-See, Achromatik went on to start writing his first L.P. known as "The Greyscale". The Greyscale is exactly what the real meaning of "achromatic" is, but Achromatik has twisted it to show that life is never in black or white, but in grey. In this L.P. he talks about how he was experimenting with "Odd-I-See" and his views and outlooks are much different from the way that he represented them in the mixtape. The Greyscale is a polar opposite to Odd-I-See, based mainly on the difference in, lyrics, flow and subject matter. Achromatik says that this L.P. will be much more personal than the last tape was, and that he is almost disappointed that Odd-I-See was his debut as an artist. The Greyscale is set to release on June 12, 2013 featuring artists; Royce da 5'9", MarvWon, MJ Robinson, Sunny Cartel, Que Theory, and Matthew Beyer.
