RECORDED WORK

Start a project!

  • "Their personal style and creative eye bolsters a piece of music and their humility keeps an artist’s needs primary."

    -Avi S.

  • "What sustains a life in music is character: presence, stewardship, curiosity, and the willingness to serve the music itself. Kai embodies these qualities."

    -William Parker, Free Jazz Legend

  • “I was sooooo glad that I worked with Kai at Yenta Room on my single. They were super patient, receptive, and met me where I was at musically. Plus, I felt super comfortable working with a fellow queer/non-binary person.”

    -Day Moth
