KAINA

KAINA is a first-generation Latina, born and raised in Chicago. From her debut EP, 2016's sweet asl. to 2018's 4U, and her album Next To The Sun, KAINA has continued to push this narrative through her brand of sweet-hearted optimism, which she uses as a means to connect with and lift her listener's spirit. Within the last year she has toured with Sleater-Kinney, Cuco, and Durand Jones & The Indications. KAINA has collaborated with peers like Saba, The O'My's, and Sen Morimoto and various organizations around the city. Through all of this she has found a sound that is gentle, yet full of intent.
