Hey, I’m Cainan
I’m a completely independent artist, meaning I have no label or team, for the most part it’s just me and my guitar. What started in my bedroom with Garage Band and a head full of ideas is now a one man operation where I write, record, produce, and mix my music in my little home studio, and of course in this day and age, you gotta add social media marketing to that list. Over time (after countless nights down YouTube rabbit holes), I slowly built a studio space in my home, complete with hand-built soundproofing panels, a growing collection of instruments, a MacBook, my apollo (maybe the best piece of equipment I’ve purchased), and Logic Pro.
Inspired by independent artists like Nic D, Connor Price, and Russ, I began releasing my original music in 2023 on Apple Music, Spotify, and all major streaming platforms. Though I don’t know what the future holds, everyday I work to pursue my career as a full time original artist, recording, mixing, mastering, and releasing my music. Songwriting is where it all begins for me, I believe lyrics to be foundational for a GOOD song and I’m passionate about the story they tell, the emotion they carry, and the honesty they demand. Most of my music draws from my personal experiences or the stories of those closest to me.
An Acoustic Solo Artist with a passion for songwriting and producing. As a teen, I found my feet busking on the streets of the Gold Coast before transitioning to life as a full-time gigging musician. Now, I’ll occasionally busk for fun and to work on performing and crowd retention, but I spend weekdays creating original music and on weekends the focus shifts to building the atmosphere at corporate functions and weddings. It’s safe to say I feel most at home with my guitar and loop station (The Sheeran Looper X is a beast).
