Kanye West has found a fresh source of inspiration for his music, and it comes from none other than his daughter, North. On January 20, the 21-time Grammy winner shared a heartwarming black-and-white photo on Instagram of his eldest daughter, sitting next to a keyboard in a cozy music studio. In the caption, Kanye expressed his deep gratitude for North, writing, “This little girl made me love music again,” followed by a crying-smiling emoji.
The touching post revealed that North’s influence has been a driving force behind Kanye’s return to the studio. According to the rapper, North had asked him to create beats for her, which reignited his passion for music production. “She asked me to make beats for her. I got back on the ASR, chopped up beats for her album, and chopped every beat with my bare hands for BULLY,” Kanye shared, showcasing his dedication to his daughter’s creative journey.
North has become a key figure in Kanye’s upcoming project Bully, which he first announced last year. Kanye has referred to his daughter as his creative muse, and even posted a video of her working on music production. In the clip, North can be seen grooving to the rhythm at the keyboard, fully engaged in the process. “Training,” Kanye simply captioned the video, highlighting North’s budding musical skills.
Already following in her father’s footsteps, North has shown a natural talent for music. She has performed at several of Kanye’s shows and made her rap debut at a Miami listening party in 2023, where she performed on their track Talking/Once Again. The pair even appeared together in the music video for the track, underscoring their close and supportive bond.
Kanye’s personal life continues to inspire his music, as he shares three other children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian—Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5. Through his relationship with North, Kanye has rekindled his love for music, proving that family is at the heart of his creative drive. With his daughter’s influence, it looks like Kanye is set for another exciting chapter in his musical journey.
