Understated Texan singer/rapper and songwriter Kaash Paige broke through as a teenager with the yearning ballad "Love Songs" (2019), a viral hit that reached Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart a week before the release of the Parked Car Convos EP. Her debut album, Teenage Fever, arrived the following year. In 2022, Paige issued singles such as "Girlfriend" and "Doubted Me."

Raised in Grand Prairie and based in nearby Dallas, Paige (D'kyla Paige Woolen) grew up into sports more than music, but started writing and recording in high school, uploading tracks to SoundCloud. By early 2019, she had attracted attention from several labels, and eventually landed a recording contract with Def Jam. Her first song supported by the major label, "Love Songs," took off with TikTok users and entered Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart that November. Within a week of that, Paige released Parked Car Convos, a seven-track EP with "Love Songs" as a bonus cut. A remix featuring 6lack was out by the end of January 2020, around the time the EP registered on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Deeper into the year, she continued to release loose tracks such as "Frank Ocean" and "Jaded," and signed a management deal with Roc Nation. Her debut long-player, Teenage Fever, appeared in 2020 and reached number two on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Paige kicked off 2022 with the release of the single "Girlfriend." This was followed by "24 Hrs" (featuring Lil Tjay) and "Doubted Me." ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
