RAISED IN ROCKY MOUNT (NC), KAIO KANE MUSIC IS A REFLECTION OF A RURAL UPBRINGING AND THE NEED TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY. BORN DELAZSIA LOWE, HIS STAGE NAME WAS INSPIRED BY AN ANIME CHARACTER WHOSE NAME MEANS GOD FIRST OTHER EARLY INFLUENCE INCLUDE SEEING HIS UNCLE PLAY THE DRUMS AND HIS GRANDFATHER PLAY THE PIANO WHILE HOSTING A LOCAL LATE-NIGHT JAZZ SHOW. HE RECALLS SPENDING HOURS AS A CHILD WATCHING HIS GRANDFATHER HELP MUSICIANS CRAFT RECORDS IN THE STUDIO. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IS WHEN HE OFFICIALLY STARTED CONTRIBUTING TO HIP-HOP CULTURE AND STARTED WRITING RHYMES IN A NOTEPAD. HE SOON REALIZED HIS PASSION FOR PRODUCING MUSIC AND HE INVESTED HIS TIME LEARNING HOW TO ENGINEER FOR HIMSELF AND OTHER ARTISTS. WHEN WRITING SONGS, KANE DRAWS FROM HIS EVERYDAY LIFE AND STRIVES TO CREATE MUSIC EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO. MAJOR MUSICAL INFLUENCES INCLUDE 2 CHAINZ, FUTURE, TORY LANEZ, AND TRAVIS SCOTT. THOUGH HE EMBRACES HIS SOUTHERN ROOTS, A NOD TO THE PLACE HE SAYS MADE HIM THE MAN HE IS, HIS MUSIC CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A FUSION OF TRAP, POP, AND ROCK.
IN 2016, HE RELEASED HIS FIRST INDEPENDENT EP, ‘LUCID DREAMS,’ WHERE HE PAINTS THE PORTRAIT OF LIFE IN A SMALL TOWN VERSUS THE LIFE HE IS TRYING TO CREATE FOR HIMSELF. THAT NEXT YEAR, HE JOINED 100 KEYS ENTERTAINMENT LABELMATES G-WRECK AND WAVE GOTTI ON A SONG CALLED 100 KEYS AND AGAIN ON THE SONG NIGHTMARES. BOTH SONGS RECEIVED AIRPLAY AND SUPPORT FROM DJS ON HOT 97 AS WELL AS POWER 105. SINCE THEN, KANE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOLIDIFY A SIZEABLE FAN BASE IN CAROLINA, PERFORMING ON STAGES AND IN VENUES ACROSS THE STATE.
WITH A PORTFOLIO THAT ALREADY INCLUDES REPUBLIC RECORDS SIGNEE LOUGOTCASH AND QC POWER PLAYER LIL BABY, 2019 IS SURE TO BRING NOTHING BUT MORE WINS FOR THE MULTI-FACETED CREATIVE!
