Kid Sister is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. She is known for her song “Pro Nails.” She was a member of British music collective Sault.

She has said:

Well I kind of am [triracial]! My dad is black and my mom is white, but my dad has some Native American, so I look a little bit Asian. [My dad] looks straight up like one of his parents is Filipino. I just feel that it puts me at a unique advantage to be able to reach more people and it makes me happy because I’m doing something positive.
