Cailin Russo

Cailin Russo is a multi-hyphenate artist whose creative output is currently focused on music. Her forthcoming album Influx (2022) has been her sole pursuit of the last two years, with intermissions taken to work with Kanye West and walk in fashion shows. Known for her avant-garde lyricism and production, innate sonic taste and evocative style, Cailin’s subtle yet hypnotic presence is as potent online as IRL, with a loyal fan base since her modelling days and a digital network of over 2 million.

Growing up in San Diego, Cailin’s early musical inspirations stemmed from an eclectic mix of genres including pop punk, rap, and jazz, with lifelong touchstones coming in the form of iconic female musicians Amy Winehouse and Gwen Stefani. Russo cites James Blake, FKA twigs and Kanye West as her current favourites, with the latter personally asking Cailin to assist in the production of his last album Donda. Cailin went on to be nominated for a Grammy by the Recording Academy for her work on West’s track ‘Hurricane’.

On the opening track of her new album INFLUX, Cailin Russo muses ‘In the back of my mind there’s a white hearse or a limousine.’ The breathy, distorted statement is repeated, reverberating before shattering into a sexy R&B dreamscape sliced by the line ‘all I feel is everything’. Cailin Russo is an artist who embodies and expresses the conflicts and complexities of the multiple truths that coexist within our modern identity - the everything - living in the fantasia of her own manifestation, the white hearse and the limousine.

Aside from her musical career, Cailin is a staple face and presence in the LA creative scene, with modelling gigs for it-girl brands I AM GIA and Skims, Helmut Lang and Rodrarte, handpicked for the front row of shows at New York and Paris fashion weeks, and seen as both a cultural mainstay and innovator who stands the test of both time and trend. Having graced the covers of Galore, Wonderland and Roller Coaster and received rave reviews from Billboard, Rolling Stone, and MTV, Cailin is stepping into an era of sharply contemporary sound, carving out her own space in the pop world.
