Kai's Experience

I have taken the skills that I have learned across my entire life and implemented them into my artistry through hard work and dedication. What started out as the need for being as self sustainable as possible, has now turned into a passion for the arbitrary intricacies that go into creating content for the consumer. I have always been a Rapper, always picked up any camera in sight, and have always been the student in class who finger drums while staring aimlessly out the window. At my core, that is exactly who I am. In 2018 I decided I was no longer going to run from those parts of me, and instead nurture them and cultivate them into spaces for me to create the art that calls to me. I have now fully immersed myself into the depths of my craft by constantly working in new spaces, collaborating with new artists and regularly pushing the limits of my own artistry, with the intention of continuing to cultivate myself into the best Artist I know how to be.
