From the vibrant streets of Chicago’s West Side comes 21-year-old Kaicrewsade, or Kai for short. Gracefully weaving the elements of Jazz, soul, and rap into his creative vision, he pushes beyond boundaries, creating a limitless and unique musical tapestry.

Rooted between Chicago and Jacksonville, Mississippi, with his family, Kai's musical journey was profoundly shaped by his early exposure to jazz, a genre with which he holds a deep and abiding connection. Kai's sound has been influenced by the work of other inspiring Chicago artists, including Chance the Rapper, Noname and Saba. His eloquent vocal delivery and live instrumentation offer a powerful connection that speaks to the depths of the human experience.

We can’t wait for Kaicrewsade to bring his soulful energy to Cross The Tracks 2025.
