Currently residing in one of Ontario's fastest growing
communities (Barrie, Ontario), independent singer/songwriter Kit Cairns has
staked his claim as a multi-faceted recording artist and producer within the
music industry. With two successful solo album releases "This is Me" and "My
World", and the development of a mini record label on the side (No Boundaries
Music Entertainment), Kit is securing his place with indie music fans and
musicians alike. From playing live shows such as The Opera House and Horseshoe
Tavern In Toronto, to festivals such as The Legend Series and Barrie New Music
Fest, to achieving 4 top 30 positions in the Campus and Community Radio Charts,
to well established connections within the music industry, Kit is finally able
to take his musical experiences and knowledge to the next level. And because
Kit grew up on a ten acre self-sufficient farm near Stratford, Ontario he
understands what it takes to get the job done right and is not afraid to make
it happen. Approaching his tenth year in the music business, Kit has built a
solid foundation to support this new audio revolution and is not only
enthusiastic about expanding his own musical career but is also very excited to
help others develop their musical talents as well. With the the launch of his
No Boundaries Music Entertainment Studio fully equiped with the latest in
software, sound conditioning, gadgets and a brand new Roland digital studio
workstation and Cubase Software there really are no boundaries to what Kit can
do!! The best part of it all is that it is completely portable so that Kit can
come to you and record in the comfort of YOUR own home! |

Not only is Kit Cairns an avid musician and producer but
he is also a science teacher and father. Much of Kit's upbringing, although not
directly involved in the music industry, helps to identify Kit as an active
participant within the industry today! During his upbringing Kit was constantly
exposed to music. At an early age, he was surrounded by the likes of true
hippies as his father was a member of the blue grass band Perth County
Conspiracy and good friends with the folk singer Valdy. During adolescence Kit
became obsessed with music and explored it intensely by attending hundreds of
live music concerts and festivals. Kit was so passionate about the gathering of
individuals for the purpose of music that he completed his university thesis on
the Motivations For Attending And Characteristics Of The Modern Music Festival.
It wasnt until Kit was attending Lakehead University in 1999 that he
picked up a guitar and started writing songs but for years prior to that he had
been writing poetry, singing kareoke, and keeping journals. These three
passions came together to form the beginning of Kits musical career. In
2002 Kit purchased a used Roland digital music recorder (JUST UPGRADED TO A
BRAND NEW ROLAND VS 2400 DIGITAL STUDIO WORKSTATION WITH CUBASE SOFTWARE) and
started to explore the technique of recording music. The first project to
surface was a bad kareoke cd. The second a bad Handmade Demo. However it caught
the interest of another musician who together with Kit formed the band No
Boundaries. In 2004 the band put together a not so bad independent CD called No
Holds Barred and played together at festivals, fairs and pubs. Shortly after
that Kit decided to pursue his music by means of launching an independent solo
record called This Is Me. Through 2006 Kit promoted his album by participating
in music competitions, playing a variety of gigs in a variety of places, and in
late 2006 launching his own informative and interactive personal website. In
2008 Kit released his second independent CD called My World which clearly
illustrates Kits growth as a well rounded musician and producer. He also
helped to organize and facilitate a grass roots music festival that ran
consecutively for three years called Musichaos.
Kit has developed a truly unique sound that can be
described as edgy-folk-rock-rhythms with poetic and insightful environmental,
family and social messages. Kit is an intense live performer who feels a strong
desire and need to be performing in front of audiences. Most of Kits
music is easy to listen and relate too; therefore, he has developed a following
in a variety of target audiences from young to old. Kit is extremely
hardworking, professional, responsible and passionate about all components of
the music industry and looks forward to his continued growth and development in
all aspects of music. Finally, Kits major musical influences include
Alanis Morissette, Neil Young, Pearl Jam, and Thousand Foot Krutch but he much
prefers to listen to independent musicians playing original music.
