Kael Alden Bio

Life is short, so do what you want! And I just wanna make music! Since 2007 I've played with indie-electro-pop band Faded Paper Figures, and worked full-time composing for TV and film with LA-based Robot Repair Music and Sound. In 2017 everything changed when I moved with my family to Salt Lake City and began writing music as a solo artist. But thinking life would be slower-paced in Utah was a fantasy. One can drive themself mad pushing harder, striving to be more creative, and burning through the night to pickup new skills like coding and design along the way. I'll sleep when I'm dead, right? Fortunately Utah does offer abundant space to get outside (both out of the house, and out of my head).
