KaJahn Ari

Kajahn Ari, a Chicago native, began on the path of a Triple Threat at the age of 5.  She began by performing in talent shows within the Chicago Public School system and Praise Dancing for various community church audiences. Also during this time, she received some formal training in Ballet and Gymnastics.  In her middle school years, she expanded her talent by joining the Drama Club, Concert Choir and Show Choir along with formal Vocal Tech training.  During this explosion of talent discovery, she was a participant in The Young Americans Workshop and the Darrin DeWitt Henson Dance Workshop.

 In 2012 decided to take her singing career to the next level and becoming a recording artist. Working with her dad made her want to go to the next level. Dancing to her own music was something
that made her feel like never before. However in July of 2014 her father passed away but it only pushed her to do more. She spent the remainder of the year recording her own music at home with her father’s studio equipment. She made herself a SoundCloud account and started sharing her music and gaining a following. By the summer of 2015 she was opening up for great performers like Tyra B and performing at clubs and sold out local venues.

Today, Kajahn Ari plans to pursue her educational goals along with seeking out new and creative avenues in the performing arts. Her passion for dance continues to drive the need to expound on her talents by gaining new and challenging roles in theater, choreography and song.  Her goal as of now is to take advantage of her resources and opportunities as an artist. As she continues to work on her first independent debut project, which is yet to be titled, she has faced many hurdles and tribulations, but continues to stay humble and keep her focus on the bigger picture and goals she looks to accomplish. “The key to getting knocked down is getting right back up. As long as you can pick yourself back up, that’s all that matters. Make the best out of a not so good situation. It may take a while to get it back together but just know that you will snap back better than ever.”

 With every note she sings or piece of lyric she writes Kajahn Ari speaks her mind and makes no apologies for it. Taking a vow to stay true to herself, Kajahn Ari understands that part of being a new artist is not just possessing raw elemental talent, but having your own voice an opinion. Many may say that Kajahn Ari has a style of her own; Care free, open minded, and very outspoken. Kajahn is determined not to be forced into a statistic box; she wants her music to be accepted for what it is, and for you to hear her story.
