When you hear the band name, Kid Politics, you immediately paint the picture of young kids rockin’ the IDGAF attitude with rebellious spirit. Instead you get some new age pop surfer dudes, tapping into their inner Coldplay and Imagine Dragons spawn (We know, it sounds too good to be true… but it IS true). So come meet a group adding value to Nashville’s pop scene.
WHO IS KID POLITICS?
Forming Kid Politics, members Kelby, Michael and Diego merged all of their talents under one umbrella. Calling Nashville home, Kid Politics was born. Kelby is not only the lead vocalists, but principle writer for the band, keys player and admin extraordinaire. Michael is the drummer with a dreamer mind. Often times “all over the place”, his mind must be lassoed in. Diego is the quiet one of the group. Claiming titles like producer and guitarist, Diego is often times found putting in his 10,000 hours in the studio. Kid Politics have made quite the splash in the short amount of time they’ve been Nashvillians.
THE PASSION
We could go on all day about Kid Politics sound, their lyrics, their unique performances and their touring dates but we wanted to hit you with the reasons why we chose to feature this band.The music industry looks very different for an independent artist in today’s “new age industry”. Real sacrifices must be made in life to be able to pursue the dream of becoming an artist professionally. Trading love over a desk is the constant mantra for these unsigned artists. For instance, Kelby recently lived in an RV, in a friend’s yard for a year to collect the funds needed to release new music. These guys are hustling at any given moment to ensure not only that they can pay bills but that they can also invest into their craft. Passion fuels the drive to succeed every single day without taking a moment off. Kid Politics talents, insane work ethic, and the desire to persevere are a few of the many reasons we chose to feature this up and coming band. Go support their grind by checking out their new live video for “California Vibes” HERE .
