KAIS

Kais Khoury, known professionally as KAIS, is a Canadian, Jordanian-born singer/songwriter and recording artist currently based on the island of Cyprus, where he runs his own recording studio: Hot Soap Studios. Producing a mixture of Indie-Alternative, Psychedelic Soul-infused Blues & Folk Rock, KAIS falls nothing short of peachy as he demonstrates a mixed influence by quintessential acts such as Jeff Buckley, Ben Howard, Oasis, Radiohead and Gary Clark Jr. Recognizing music as a tool that could move and influence people, he first wrote about world issues like war and global warming. Today, KAIS' poetic complexities have grown to express a love of the metaphysical, as he has woven a fine balance into his music between natural inclinations for the outdoors and the demands of our social world. Gradually having made ripples in the music industry as an independent and self-funded artist, KAIS has performed quite a number of gigs since the early 2000s. He has showcased his music in such events as The Mayor of London Big Busk in the UK and venues like The Harbour Event Centre, Fox Cabaret and Guilt & Co in Vancouver, Canada. Additionally he was invited to Toronto’s annual Indie Week where he performed at the notorious Painted Lady, The Brooklynn and The Cavern. KAIS continues to flirt with the fresh and groundbreaking all the while translating what speaks to his heart. He gradually writes and records music now with greater maturity and a stronger approach, all to be released in due time.
