Team KAM

I'm not sure if many people know this but there are a great number of artists in the Bay Area waiting to make it big.  From what I've seen and heard, most are rappers. Since I listen to the radio a lot, I've come across a few whose songs are aired from time to time.

Unlike how I usually discover Bay Area artists, I recently came across two talented boys named Kalin and Myles at a concert I attended in early August this year.  My friends and I were waiting in line to get inside the venue and all of a sudden we heard people screaming and fan girling.  Two young guys appeared and walked to the gate to enter the venue.  On the way there, they took pictures with fans and signed whatever was thrown in front of their faces.  Confused, I watched the crazy mob that was in front of me.  I overheard a few girls next to me mention the names Kalin and Myles.  Though I now knew their names, I still had no idea why they were here and why everyone was freaking out over them.

Later when everyone was inside the venue, the concert started and Kalin and Myles came on stage.  The music started and right away I was impressed and caught up in their catchy songs.  The girls around me seemed to enjoy their performance too.  This was the first time I ever saw them perform and was instantly a fan.  Let's face it, Kalin and Myles had me under their spell.

October is when I actually started listening to their music.  Intrigued, I did some research on them just for fun.  Myles is 20 and Kalin is 17.  It turns out they write and produce all their music themselves.  I'm highly influenced by how young they are and their success.  From what I've read, Myles has been making music since he was 15.  That's about the same age I really got into the idea of working in the music industry.  Myles' brother, Jake, DJs at their concerts.  Being a DJ has also been an interest to me.  I don't really understand why there aren't many female audio engineers or DJs that are successful.  We have the same skills and education to fulfill the job so I don't see why we're not out there producing music.  

By now I've seen and met Kalin & Myles twice.  I will be seeing them perform again on the 14th of this month and cannot wait to meet them for the third time.  They're both friendly and welcoming, unlike some other artists.  I wish them the best of luck in making it big because they're really talented and absolutely deserve it.  Who knows, maybe in the future they can give me some tips on making music.
