Both his parents were born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, later moving to Canada to raise Rony and his older brother, Amir Kordab. Amir is also a musician, known as ItsAmiroMusic on Instagram, and is cited as helping Rony become a musician, even assisting with the creation, mixing and mastering of RealestK's 2021 debut Billboard Hit, "WFM".

Career On October 6, 2021, RealestK released the single "WFM", alongside its music video. The singer recalled editing the video during a business class, in which his teacher lectured him, but he still continued to do it. The song serves as his first time working with another artist and Nav also brought him out at Rolling Loud in their hometown of Toronto to perform the song. After releasing some more singles, RealestK released his debut studio album, Dreams 2 Reality, on October 28, 2022.

RealestK released his second studio album, Real World, on October 20, 2023.

In January 2026, he released "Save Me" as the lead single from his third studio album, Forgive to Forget, which arrived on March 20, 2026 via Standard Projects and ADA.

He is managed by Deon Douglas and Clay Barmore of Standard Projects.

Artistry Alex Nino Gheciu of Complex, who interviewed RealestK in February 2022 felt that "RealestK's songs are full of raw candour and vulnerability—he yearns for something real amid an increasingly soulless and nihilistic age" and added that "he's got the lived-in, heart-wrecked conviction of someone twice his age, and one of the most captivating new voices in Canadian R&B".
