Kai Craig
Born in Brighton, UK (2000), Kai first picked up sticks at the age of 2 and began studying with his father at the age of 6. Kai’s musical inspiration was sparked by hearing recordings from his father’s record collection. His early exposure to a wide range of music, and the playing styles connected to them, enabled him to develop his initial understanding of music, and planted the seed from which his own playing approach grew.
Kai moved to London aged 18 to study at the Royal Academy of Music, from which he graduated in 2022. He is grateful to have been mentored by Gregory Hutchinson since 2020. In the past, he is also honoured to have studied with Kenny Washington, Tyshawn Sorey, Marcus Gilmore and Francesco Ciniglio and enjoyed opportunities to work with the likes of Soweto Kinch, seamus blake, Raynald Colom, Géraud Portal, Francesco Cafiso, jon gordon, Romain Pilon, Kit Downes, Graeme Blevins, Nigel Price, Ivo Neame, Franck Amsallem, Stan Sulzmann, Giacamo Smith, Gareth Lockrane, Laurence Cottle and Anders Jormin. Whilst in London, Kai performed at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza Express Dean Street, The Vortex and The 606, with select performances at the Royal Albert Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall and the Southbank Centre.
