BIO

Kayo Martin is a 15-year-old competitive skateboarder, boxer, and actor. He is a New York native with a British lineage tying him to a family legacy of boxing and urban street culture, working his way to being a professional boxer. 

In 2023, Kayo became a National Junior Golden Gloves finalist in Orlando, Florida for boxing. He placed third in the 2023 Nitro Junior Games in Hamburg, Germany for skateboarding. Kayo also became world-ranked in the Olympic qualifiers for men’s park skateboarding in Sharjah, UAE in 2023, and in San Juan, Argentina the same year.

Kayo has since gained over 1M followers from the mix of his athleticism and hilarious personality, showing his audience what it’s like to be a kid in a big city. From attending the Cannes Film Festival for his acting debut in The Plague — where his performance as Jake earned nominations for Best Breakthrough Performance from both the Independent Spirit Awards and the New York Film Critics Circle — to being the face of the KidSuper x BAPE collab alongside Kai Cenat, and the face of Nike’s Air Max DN8 shoe, Kayo is rapidly establishing himself as a rising force in sports, entertainment, and culture.
