#SHOTFORSNEAKERS: Kaiit

Purple Sneakers has teamed up with emerging photographer Joseph Crackett of ONLY ODD to hand pick and shoot some of the hottest artists performing at this year’s BIGSOUND. The series, titled #SHOTFORSNEAKERS, focuses on Purple Sneakers and Only Odd’s shared passion of emerging artists. Over the coming weeks we’ll be revealing selections from the shoots, shot by Joseph in Brisbane’s Winn Lane.

Today, we’re very excited to share KAIIT.

KAIIT is one of, if not the, most exciting artists in the country right now. We said of her debut EP, Live From Her Room, "KAIIT‘s debut EP is impressive in its technicality, powerful in its vulnerability and infectious in its shared experiences and authenticity...Its relatable, genuine and straight up which is why the connection between her and her music and the rest of the world is so strong." Her BIGSOUND performance was one of the highlights, not just of this year's festival but perhaps in the event's history. With a co-sign from Jill Scott herself, there's absolutely no stopping Kaiit now - she's only just getting started and she's already blown us away.
