Biography Of Kit Cairns

Kit Christian Carter Cairns was born in Stratford, Ontario, March 25th 1978. He grew up on a ten acre self-sufficient farm and during his upbringing Kit was exposed to much music. At an early age he was surrounded by the likes of true hippies as his father was a member of the blue grass band Perth County Conspiracy and good friends with the folk singer Valdy. During adolescence Kit attended thousands of live music concerts and festivals. Kit eventually completed his University thesis on the Motivations For Attending And Characteristics Of The Modern Music Festival. It wasn’t until Kit was attending Lakehead University in 1999 that he picked up a guitar and started writing songs but for years prior to that he had been writing poetry, singing kareoke, and keeping journals. In 2002 Kit purchased a used Roland digital music recorder and started to explore the technique of recording music. In 2004 Kit formed the band No Boundaries and put together a not so bad independent CD called No Holds Barred. The band played together at festivals, fairs and pubs. Shortly after that Kit decided to pursue his music by means of launching an independent solo record called This Is Me. Through 2006 Kit promoted his album by participating in music competitions, playing a variety of gigs in a variety of places, and in late 2006 launching his own informative and interactive personal website. In 2008 Kit registered with SOCAN/ASCAP and released his second independent cd called My World. He also helped to organize and facilitate his own music festival which ran consecutively for three years called Musichaos. Kit has developed a truly unique sound that can be described as edgy-folk-rock-rhythms with poetic and insightful lyrical messages. Kit is an intense live performer who feels the need to be performing in front of audiences. Kit’s musical influences include Alanis Morissette, Neil Young, Pearl Jam, and Thousand Foot Krutch. Kit has been iwriting songs and playing for 9 years

My World 2008 CD Press Release

With the start of his new “Family” and ownership of his own “Home” Kit Cairns has had much inspiration to build his 2008 full-length independent CD release titled “My World.” This record takes you “Deep Inside” the “Just For Me” thoughts and experiences of Kit Cairns as he reveals his true understanding of love in “My Girl” and his outlook on the world in “Full Of Greed.” Still determined to “Change The World” Kit has decided to “Slow Down” the pace in order to focus on quality production and meaningful content. Kit moves forward into 2008 with excitement and ambition about his new album and is curious as to where it will take him, as revealed in “What’s For Me.”

Now 29 years old, Kit Cairns has reached the point in his life where maturity and responsibility guide his pathway. This includes the pathway of which led to the making of this album as Kit has written, recorded, produced and promoted “My World” with care and consideration. This has resulted in a more sincere sounding album revealing Kit’s true voice and creativity without the clutter of digital effects and voice overs. Clean, and simple rhythms mixed with fun melodies and a meaningful message makes his album easy to relate to for all people of all ages. As a bonus Kit has chosen to re-master and re-release two of his more meaningful songs from his debut album including “Change The World” and “Slow Down.” Fresh new studio versions of these songs illustrate well, Kit’s growth as a musician.

As a follow up to his debut album titled “This Is Me” released in 2006 “My World” proves that Kit is determined for success and is always willing to grow and learn as a musician. From placing as a semi-finalist in the “The Legend Series” music competition to the launch of his interactive website (www.kitcairns.com) as well as increased media coverage Kit is definitely exposing his music and developing a fanbase throughout the world. However, there is only so much one person can do and that is why Kit is hoping to gain some recognition with the music industry in order to better develop his sound and increase his exposure even further. Look for Kit performing in and around the Barrie and Orillia area as well as his first ever CD single to be released soon after the album.
