In a world where youth and influence are often separate lanes, Kaci The Model is speeding through both—with undeniable talent, heart, and hustle. Born Kaci Houston on September 21, 2011, this 13-year-old Detroit native is much more than just a model; she’s a rapper, actress, entrepreneur, and outspoken advocate for anti-bullying—a rising mogul with purpose.

From Runway to Recordings: The Rise of a Star

Kaci’s creative career began early. At just age 4, she entered the modeling world and dropped her debut single, “Bubble ”Gum”—an energetic anthem that reflected the vibrancy and confidence she embodies. Since then, Kaci has evolved into a multidimensional brand, earning over 100,000 Instagram followers and building her own businesses: KTM Entertainment, Kolours by Kaci, and Kutie Wear.

Whether she’s performing on stage, walking the runway, or speaking to youth about self-worth and strength, Kaci brings passion to everything she touches.

Her latest project, the EP titled “The Winning Way,” dropped on June 28, and it’s a testament to her growth as an artist and storyteller. From high-energy tracks to confident verses, the EP is a celebration of ambition, creativity, and resilience—all things that define Kaci's personal and professional journey.

To mark the release, Kaci hosted an unforgettable celebration. The EP release party was more than just a music showcase—it was a declaration of her movement. Set to sounds by DJ Flexx Live and hosted by Randi Rossario, the event featured performances, fashion, and an army of young creatives who came out to support. One highlight included Kaci performing tracks like “I CAN,” “BABY I GOT IT,” and “SWITCH IT UP” with energy that filled the room.

With a custom fashion show debuting exclusive Kaci merch on the runway, guest performances from emerging stars like JoJo Redd, and collaborations with artists like GMACC and Sada Baby, the event symbolized what Kaci stands for—community, creativity, and confidence.

Beyond the stage and the studio, Kaci is deeply involved in inspiring others. Her advocacy against bullying and her commitment to self-expression through fashion and music are what set her apart. She’s not just here to entertain—she’s here to uplift.

Kaci The Model isn’t just paving her own lane—she’s building a whole highway for others to follow. And with “The Winning Way,” she’s made it clear: she’s only just getting started.
