Writers, producers and performance artists KVII rules the arts scene in Atlanta, Georgia .Katoria ‘Toots’ Mitchell and Khy Ishmael shares passion for community, education and soulful hip music. KVII is now expanding beyond The Big Peach. "Whatever a man sow, he shall also reap," is a life philosophy that Toots approaches in every journey, whether it's as a published poet, hosting her own radio show or speaking to youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America .Khy first began singing at the age of 2 in Suitland, Maryland at New Birth Christian Church, every Sunday. Where he gained his life mission statement; use the power of music to help heal the land. These siblings are the youngest two of seven children and decided at an early age that they both shared a love for music and the arts. Only two years apart and both born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Toots had her first taste of fame in a Snickers commercial at only five years old. However, she found her creative outlet through poetry. “I just felt free whenever my pen touched the paper” explained Toots. Her freedom resonated when at only eight years old she was published in The Anthology Book of Poetry by Young Americans. By the time she was 14, Toots transformed poetry into rap, teaming with then Universal Records artist Jason “Camoflauge” Johnson, who passed away in 2003. Building a name for herself in the Atlanta arts scene, Toots participated in a 2003 charity basketball game at Morris Brown College with Champ Bailey of the Washington Redskins and Michael Vick who was then part of the Atlanta Falcons. But it was conquering BET's 106 & Park at Savannah State University in 2005 that gave Toots her big break. With the memory of Camoflauge in her spirit, Toots knew the moment was hers, "I just remembered seeing my challenger and I remembered I had only one chance to shine—I put my soul into it." Toots was crowned the Homecoming Freestyle Champion. Toots brought her talents on the road for the two-year run of the Addicted 2 Hip-Hop tour. She opened for 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, and Young Dro. By 2011, the female MC reinvented her stage act as an online radio show, also titled Addicted 2 Hip-Hop, under N8tion, which is still on air. In addition, she hosted a series of open mic showcases and promoted industry events for rappers like Trina. Toots has never forgotten her community. She is currently a member of the Women's Veteran's Affairs, an advocacy organization for women who served their country, and has created her own scholarship fund “Toots for Books” to increase literacy in urban communities. In other ways of giving back to her community, Toots and Khys poke at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and KVII performed at the Tenth Annual Savannah Business Awards, stressing the importance of authenticity via art. Khy being the youngest member of the family, performed in musical theater plays once becoming a student at Suitland High Visual &Performance Art School.

Making a household name for himself in the DMV area Khy began to be casted in Stage Productions produced by Jay Cameron and Deron Cloud of The Soul Factory productions. During his senior year in high school John Robert Powers Modeling Agency welcomed Khy into its existing roster. It wasn’t until recently when Toots decided to join musical forces with her brother professionally and they began to create core shaking tunes.
