Born and raised in Reserve Mines, Nova Scotia, Boutilier moved to Los Angeles at the age of 20 to pursue a music career.[2] After being discovered by OneRepublic member Ryan Tedder, Boutilier signed a recording contract with Interscope Records under the alias My Name Is Kay (later shortened to just Kay), and released her self-titled debut EP, My Name Is Kay, in 2011.[3] Following a string of successful features with Tiësto and Steve Aoki, Boutilier released her debut album, My Name Is Kay in 2013.
