Enlarge PhotoWhile browsing through some MySpace music, I found Kaden. There are tons of cute guys out there making music. I also see their pictures and secretly think....this is going to sound bad. Not so with Kaden. I actually LOVE the two songs that he has listed on his MySpace Music Page.
I was super happy when he agreed to answer a few of my silly little questions! Enjoy and we will be sure to let you know when more of his music is available.
Kaden's Stats
Age: 21
Current Location: Hollywood
Relationship Status: Single
We love the songs "Live Fearless" & "Alone". You can hear both on your MySpace page. Are there any other songs that we can listen to and if so where are they?
Thank you so much Doug, I'm always excited to hear when someone likes my music. As for other songs, YES! I have about half the album completed. We aren't releasing the other tracks just yet because we are about to shop them to some great A & R reps. I would love to share the music I just want to share it all in a larger way, with distribution.
Your blog states you have been working on an album. How has that process been and when do you think it may be released?
We have been working hard on the album and are shooting a video early this next month for Live Fearless. We have come across many obstacles, but my crew and I continue moving forward. I mean, when you are doing this all out of your own pocket, or out of a lack of funds in your pocket, it takes time and faith from your producers.
I will be signed within three months, I like setting time frames and always work to stay positive about my goals. Once signed I will be releasing ASAP, hopefully before this year is through.
What songs on the radio right now are you a big fan of?
I'm not really sure what's out there right now. You see, I'm in writing mode currently and when I'm writing I try not to listen to anything because I want to say things that are on my mind without influence from other artists.
Do you think being a good looking guy will hurt or help your career?
Well, if someone thinks I'm good looking, I'm first of all thankful and I don't really think it will hurt. Beauty can get a person noticed but if that's all there is, then that person won't keep me, or most people interested.
What do you think of life in Hollywood?
Hollywood is a great city that is so full of opportunities. Here you see every type of person, culture, every sort of dream. When I moved here I literally had nothing. Now I'm stable and pursuing music, this is the American dream.
Your dad worked for Dryers ice cream...that is my ultimate fantasy...What is your favorite type of ice cream and do you still enjoy it?
I think it's every kids fantasy, and even big kids too! When I was eight my dad took me to his work and not many people know this but they test the new flavors on kids to see their response... I tasted a few different flavors that day but one stuck out... It was cookie dough ice cream, it instantly became my favorite and still is to this day. I love ice cream and always will, just now I eat it in moderation and head to the gym after.
How do you stay in shape?
I run, lift weights, hike, swim, and I also have been dancing and getting myself prepared for showcases.
What has been your biggest challenge in your pursuit of your music career?
Just getting people to see a dream that at times I feel only I can see. Most don't understand what I'm trying to do musically, so they try to push me this way or that way... But I'm going to do it my way.
What is one thing that you want people to know about your music?
I want people to know that I write every lyric that comes out of my mouth and that I am connected to the music. So the people who relate to my music are connected to me, that is why music is so powerful.
There are even more pictures at his personal MySpace page.

This guy is awesome! I ran across Kaden on myspace about two years ago, and was/am really impressed with him as a person, and as a person of talent. I dont think you could find a more good-hearted or sincere person anywhere, but especially on myspace! Most of what I know about him, I learned by reading his blogs, and the rest from a few dozen emails exchanged over the course of two years. In the blogs, perhaps without even knowing it, he exposes himself to be a true exception to what is the norm these days. Insightful, caring and concerned. How often do you see that? Just look at what the celebrity trash is giving us these days! Now, I expect that Kaden may be human, and he may have a flaw here and there, but he is intelligent enough to know that nothing will be gained by shoving that down our throats. Wouldnt the world rock if everyone in the public eye did that? I have been known to leave a questionable comment or two for Kaden on his myspace page, and since he approves his comments first, they never make the cut! I suspect that he may chuckle at some of them, and that is the reason I send them, but he knows that nothing can be gained for himself or for anyone else by posting them for all to see! That may seem like a small thing, but I think it is a refreshing throwback to a time when people kept some things to themselves! Now, if only I can learn to follow his lead!
If you are just now discovering Kaden, I recommend you go read his blogs when you have some free time. If nothing else, you may just be inspired by his struggle, and his always successful efforts in overcoming the roadblocks he encounters. I can honestly say that I would never have been able to accomplish what he has with what he was given to start with! While I only know him through the internet, I can honestly say that each time Kaden has a success, I am very proud of him! Whether he finds the success he wants in music remains to be seen. He has the tools to make it, so its all about timing now, in my opinion. To me, he already has succeeded, because he had a goal, and he went after it with gusto! There were people along the way who should have encouraged him, but they actually discouraged him. His support system at the start wasnt very much. Afterall, EVERYONE knows you cant just go to Hollywood and have a career! Lucky for us, Kaden didnt know that! Rock on K!

In a word? Amazing.
This man is a rare gift to the world, and to not know his gift is to be creative poor.
