Kai Nanfelt

Kai Nanfelt is not your average artist. Writing from experience, he is not afraid to be vulnerable in his songwriting, and refuses to back down from a “taboo” subject. Prevalent in his artwork, Nanfelt places a massive emphasis on anxiety, depression, and other topics that most are afraid to approach - including substance abuse, domestic violence, abortion and suicide. He feels that most male artists are either unable or unwilling to be truly unguarded in their music, and thus feels obligated to fulfill such a vast vacancy in the industry.

The 25-year-old realized early on that he did not endure emotions like most. Experiencing things so profoundly, good or bad, he discovered songwriting as the only appropriate outlet for his feelings. Treating songwriting as his own personal form of therapy, Nanfelt quickly recognized that most of his darker thoughts and sentiments were not novel. Thus, he decided to release his work for the benefit of others, hoping to grow and heal alongside his fans.

Kai Nanfelt cites John Mayer, Brandi Carlile and Ed Sheeran as his main musical influences.
