Bishop Nehru

Early life
Bishop at age 13 made jazz tracks and hip hop instrumentals under the name "Kelz Scott" soon being changed to the name Kile Kanvas at age 14. He released his earlier works on the Odd Future forum & other forums like Hypebeast, Skateboard-City, Lookbook, and many more. Odd Future Talk was the forum that gave a then young Nehru listens. WorldStarHipHop named Bishop Nehru the Youth Rap Talent of the Week in July 2012 for his 8-bar freestyle over Mos Def's classic "Mathematics". Nehru was featured on Hot97.com as part of their Who's Next section, which showcases rappers who are next to blow up. He also had the song make its way to Power 105.1's New NY with Jovonn "The Don" in February 2013. as well as opening for Wu-Tang Clan on their 20th Anniversary European tour.

He chose his stage name from a combination of Tupac's character in the movie Juice, noting that the character of Bishop inspires him "to go out and get mine, you've got to earn respect" and Nehru is taken from the former prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, who worked closely with legendary peacemaker Gandhi.
