All of our favorite musicians have an origin story from when they were kids, finding the inspiration in the music that they would come to love and create along the way. But what if you could discover an artist that is that early in their career, and follow along with them every step of the way?
Well that is what this episode is all about. A 13 year old that has taken the stage with artists like Motionless In White, From Ashes to New, Alpha Wolf, and more. A 13 year old that has been able to start creating music and sharing his sound with the world with a metalcore background. And now, you get it.
Kage Archer joins the Chord Progression Podcast, as the youngest artist ever to join the show. With 3 songs out right now, including the most recent "Bonded by Blood", we dive into it on this episode as we talk about:
- The backstory of Kage Archer getting into heavy music, how his attempt to scream for $20 led to a viral moment, and how performing Slaughterhouse with Motionless in White on stage inspired him to get into music for himself.
- Making music with some of the biggest names in the heavy music scene, including Taylor Barber of Left to Suffer & producer Hiram Hernandez, and how experimenting with sound around his deepening vocals over time creates a unique opportunity for exploration.
- The inspriation to find his own sound, and why he isn't following the suggestions of his teachers by "focusing on studying more than music."
