KAINA
KAINA的音乐像是通往他人与自省的桥梁。这位90后歌手兼词曲作者用她的创作平衡了抚慰人心的温暖与自己周遭的尖锐审问，她恰到好处的挑起来听众们的内心痛点。KAINA擅长运用温柔的声音展示自己的乐观主义以及对真实至上的观点，正是这样的特点是的KAINA一跃成为Z时代新兴艺术家的前沿，她用自身美好的特质创新改造了音乐。
KAINA’s music can feel like a bridge to others or a reflection of yourself. With lyrics that balance comforting warmth and sharp interrogation of her thoughts and the world around her, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter knows exactly how and when to pluck at listeners’ heartstrings. Serving as a vehicle to uplift and build community, the project introduced KAINA’s signature sound lined with a sweet-hearted optimism and devastating authenticity, which catapulted KAINA to the forefront of a new wave of artists transforming the music landscape with deeply honest and innovative expression.
KAINA 在芝加哥出生和長大，父母是委內瑞拉和危地马拉人，正是这样较为独特的背景建构了KAINA对于事件的看法， “通过我的歌曲创作，大家或许可以听到我的生活是如何影响我，为我带来所有正面又负面的影响，所有的细微差别都会在我的歌曲中体现。”
Born and raised in Chicago to Venezuelan and Guatemalan parents, KAINA always carries her lineage with her, often singing about healing generational trauma and expressing what it means to grow up as a first generation kid. “We’re all as a family unlearning a certain fight or flight mentality,” she explains. “So I’ve seen how that impacts my parents. And I’m seeing how it impacts me, brings up childhood anxieties and things I couldn’t understand within myself hindered me. Through my songwriting I’m able to reframe how I view those experiences by adding context and nuance.”
KAINA 也加入芝加哥非营利组织和青年项目，她认为这样的经历也丰富了自己音乐的表达，并希望自己可以激励他人一起做同样的事情。也正是运用这些经历，她与多位艺术家合作：Saba , The O'My’s, NNAMDÏ , Jamila Woods这样的结合使她为芝加哥的音乐又增添了一份活力。
KAINA is a self proclaimed product of non-profit organizations and youth programming in Chicago, which she credits for giving her confidence in her voice as an artist and inspiring her to do the same for the next generation. The raw authenticity and care for community instilled in her are inseparable from KAINA’s approach to music and life as a whole. Her commitment to these ideals cemented her place in the vibrant fabric of Chicago’s musical impact on a global scale with her collaborations with artists like Saba and The O’My’s or shared bills with NNAMDÏ and Jamila Woods.
