Kaina is a first-generation Latina, born and raised in Chicago. From her debut album Next To The Sun (Sooper Records, 2019) to her latest offering It Was A Home (City Slang, 2022), 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. She has toured with Sleater-Kinney, Cuco, and Durand Jones & The Indications and toured internationally. Through all of this, she has found a sound that is gentle, yet full of intent.
