About Me

Skill Level:
Semi-Pro
Craft:

Instruments:
Bass, Synthesizer (All), Keyboard (All), drum machine
Genres:
Pop, electro, synth pop, dance, dance pop, disco
Influences:

Kai Lavatai records dialed up boutique pop gems motored by heavy disco, electro-dance, and singer/songwriter influence. His work generously drips “austere modernism meets overarching pop sluttiness”

Kai Lavatai's motivation is fueled by the masterpiece works within the realms of Funk, Disco, 1960’s sunshine/baroque pop, early 80's R&B, 90's New Jack Swing, singer/songwriter, and Hip-hop.

Working With Others

How I Work:

I can provide arrangement and production remotely, as well as provide vocal tracks.

I can harmonize and arrange around prerecorded vocals that have been recorded to a click track or I can develop original melodies to be recorded. If you are in the Bay Area I can also bring you in to record in my home studio. I can also provide lyrical assistance. I can also perform and record original vocals.

I prepare all work from my home studio and host project files on my server.

Experience:

I've been writing songs and recording for over 10 years. I know what I like, but I am always learning new methods and styles. I love to work with others and coordinate around new ideas.

Equipment:

Korg MC2000B, Roland Groove Box MC 307, Condenser Mic, Logic Pro, midi finger pad, midi keyboard controller, bass, tambourines, guitar

Hello Kai,
Thank you for your comment. I think that everyone who joined the contest was really challanged and inspired by the original material. Congratulations with your 2 honorable mantions!

I really appreciate all of the thoughtful feedback on my Marcy Playground (Gin And Money & Star Baby) entries. Thanks all! There are an awful lot of greatly crafted pieces in this toss up. Good luck and future success to all

Yo Kai! You are welcome and how's Oaktown? Before Jah brought me out of bondage and planted me in Japan my home was 63rd and San Pablo.
By the way my first piece of gear for doing what we do was a MC505.
Rock on.

That would be so cool, if you would remix my stuff. You are so talented and I am a better singer than a mixer. I have lots of unfinished cover songs and original songs that I have not posted yet.
