Sunshine Kathleen Holt grew up in Pontiac, Illinois, and broke through as Sunshine Benzi in November 2025 with "Trump the Bill," a freestyle delivered in a New York flow that sounds more like an early-2000s rap veteran than a small-town Midwest teenager.
The track got covered by other rappers within weeks, and the co-signs followed fast — Remy Ma, Tyla, and Charli XCX among them, plus a Coach brand partnership — a viral freestyle turning into a real career and a Lollapalooza booking inside of a single year.
