Vinay Khati aka V-empire
As a teenager he was interested in dance in his college days but something more than dance amazed him which was music, and that’s how he connected to music and he started exploring more and more about it. Born in Andhra Pradesh and brought up in Mumbai Vinay went through a rough life, due to financial problems which led to shifting from place to place.

As a child, Vinay spent most of his time with people who are bigger than his age. During this period, he saw the reality of life and the people in a way these experiences helped him to write songs. He wanted to write something which people could relate to. He wanted his family to be settled, as his family was going through chaos and a lot of trouble, his sister and him decided to find a better place. Now he resides in Pratiksha Nagar in Sion.
Vinay started working during the college days he used to do events and part-time jobs. He was ambitious but at the same time, he was a boy with responsibilities he cared for his family. He didn’t sacrifice his love to write Rap songs, instead, he balanced both. There’s a line in his songs that goes like “Ek screen pe excel Aur Ek screen pe notes kyu ki Ghar aur passion dono
chalana hai dost”.
He doesn’t have a giving-up easily attitude, he is a fighter and that’s all Rap is all about. He is
always ready to tackle any difficulties, he doesn’t like to run away.
Vinay likes to write motivational rap songs, he writes songs that people relate to. 

He doesn’t seem to be interested in politics much but one thing he is very clear about is that
through Rap a lot can be said and it can be heard widely.
In the future, he wants to collaborate with Bohemia and also adding to his favorite Artists Deep
Jandu and Sukh- E. He also listens to Divine and other upcoming artists too.
A message to the youth out there from him:
Social media is a world where most people are just showing off their high standards with someone else’s money, if you want to achieve something and leave a mark,
stand on your feet. Spend your own money and that’s what success tastes like.
