Caden Makai Moniz a.k.a. Makai Keyes is 20 years young and creating some of the best quality production in the underground. Out of Northern California, Makai creates a blend of genres and uses his inspiration from hip hop music to lead the way. Makai got most of his drive for music at a very young age when his parents gave him the taste and material to create. Up until 2018, Makai spent a lot of his time working on his craft under different names and sounds. He spent the time to understand the process on many different levels and genres and came to a conclusion with the hip hop inspired sound of Makai.
“NO LOVE IN THE HILLS” was released by Makai in October and its a beautiful blend of all these genres Makai was focusing on prior to his rebrand. From punk riffs to electronic accents. Makai blends all these sounds with hard hitting hip hop influence to create cut edge mixes that had power and grace. Tracks like “WAY BACK” & “DISTANCE” really show off the blend were talking about. All and all, Makai is creating a sound all for himself and the time put into every track shows in the final product.
