Tag: ROCK ON
Me, Myself, and I: Irrepressible, unstoppable and undeniable, Kiai is an artist who speaks and sings to be heard-- no matter what she's saying. Her songs range from the silly to the profound and in the totality of her expression, she has revealed herself to be a unique singer/songwriter emerging in the New York indie scene.

The child of an immigrant Korean mother, Kiai grew up in Woodstock, NY. About her childhood she says, "I was definitely a typical Korean-American child in terms of my musical experience. I started at 7 playing piano and my mom was so controlling that she made me play violin instead of cello, which is what I really wanted to play." By age 17, Kiai was a full-fledged rebel-- abandoning her classical music upbringing to play at jazz jams filled with Woodstock locals. "My passion came out of the years of repression-- that's where the punk in me comes from," she explains.
