Carried by breezy waves of live instrumentation, buoyant production, and instantly infectious choruses, Kevian Kraemer’s music sounds a lot like an endless summer. His bright mix of alternative, indie, and pop alternates between the kind of excitement usually brought on by June’s final school bell, sparks of energy perfect for a July night sky, and a fleeting longing typically reserved for August’s last days. Growing up in New Jersey, music surrounded him from every angle. Developing through the Asbury Park music scene, he recognized his calling. His arsenal expanded to include to guitar, production, drums, piano, and more. In high school, he finally opted to write and record original tunes of his own on GarageBand, initially gaining traction with “Sweater.” In 2024, a snippet of “Fly” went viral on TikTok leading to nearly 3 million global streams. He served up his debut Seventeen EP during the summer which yielded the standout “Attention,” and has generated 12M million global streams. Now, with “Jersey or Mars," the 19-year-old singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist captivates with an undeniable and unshakable style of his own.
