Short Bio

 

 “For as long as I can remember, I have always loved singing. I have always loved performing,” Cailyn admits. “My mom kept this ‘baby book’, and when I went to pre-primary school, the teachers would need to write in how my day at school went. In one of those reports, my class was introduced to the piano, and from that day onward, each time we had a music day, my poor teacher was unable to leave the lesson. I refused to let her go. I simply wanted her to keep playing and singing the entire day."

​

After releasing “My Four Friends” in August 2021, Cailyn suddenly became popular. Interview requests flooded in, and a new audience was curious about this extraordinary voice. “I saw my music on Apple Music and Spotify; it was brilliantly terrifying to hear a song I had written during the pandemic, about the pandemic, while still in a pandemic, bringing so much joy to the world,” she recalls. 

 

Cailyn writes in the moment, capturing what affects her. Now she’s in a place to define her persona. “I want people to pay attention to the song writing,” she explains. “Creating and hearing a song that completely sums up how you are feeling in that moment is a joy to listen to on so many levels. If I can deliver that to someone else, I have succeeded in my quest.”
