Meet Kaiya Buffelen, a 15-year-old with a lifelong passion for music. She found her singing voice at just 6 years old and began taking voice and piano lessons by the age of 8. Soon after, she picked up the guitar at 9, the violin at 10, and started songwriting and producing with Logic Pro by 11.
Since she was 9, Kaiya has been gracing venues all over western Washington, performing both in bands and as a solo artist. At just 12, she snagged first place in the Maple Valley Idol singing contest, and by 13, she had already released her debut single, "The Rain," in April 2020.
Besides her music career, Kaiya plays a big role in her brother's popular YouTube channel, EvanMCGaming, which is nearing 1 million subscribers. The channel is all about detailed Minecraft documentaries. Kaiya helps with research, picks out music, reviews scripts, and is even learning how to edit videos.
