I started making music full time when I lost my job to the pandemic; I was a nightclub manager and had been for eight years when my salary was suddenly cut. I didn’t have a degree to fall back on - so I dove into music.

 

If you take one thing from me, it’s this. When it seems like everything around you has crumbled, know there are seeds in that rubble - seeds that would not have been set free had your world not fallen apart. With those seeds you can grow a different life for yourself, one that is greater and more fulfilling than the one you had before. To find your life, sometimes you've got to lose it.

​

I'm nomad now, and before this I hardly traveled at all, so I guess you could say I recognized there was more of myself to lose, and more of myself to find. Sometimes who we are is imprisoned by who we think we are. We're like acorns that need to decide to become the oak trees we were always meant to be.

​

I'm currently making music from the road. If you want to stay updated, text me at (707) 289-3895, I'll text you my songs right when I drop them. The first two replies are auto, then it’s me, and I do my best to reply to everyone.

 

13+ years sober. Originally from Fairfield, CA.

If you want to support me as a creator, consider joining my patreon at patreon.com/kaistraw. I'm independent, so your support over there is massive. You can get the music early over there, too.

​

And huge thanks for listening to my stuff, in general. Everyone who presses play is a miracle to me.
