Bio

KAIA FOWLER creates music that speaks to the soul. Her passion, warmth, and genuineness invite listeners to open their hearts and transcend the everyday through song. A versatile guitarist and singer known for her soothing, vibrant, and beautifully resonant voice, Kaia Fowler’s music displays a rare depth of emotional expressiveness. For Kaia, who also practices Reiki energy therapy, and serves as a life and wellbeing coach, music creation is part of her healing arts ministry.

Her latest album, One Breath, placed on the Folk Alliance International “Top Albums of the Month” chart for July 2022, receiving radio play from coast to coast in the U.S. and in Canada. With mixing on most songs provided by Grammy award-winning engineer Charlie Pilzer, One Breath features songs of hope and healing. Special guest tracks include “Take Shelter in Love” with harmony vocals and bouzouki arranged and performed by Joe Jencks; “Obon, Dance of Light” with bass and bamboo flute parts arranged and performed by Peter Phippen; and “Ridin’ Along” with Tricia Alexander on blues harmonica.

Kaia Fowler extends her musical performances beyond stage and studio into communities where she promotes greater wellbeing and supports experiences of comfort, courage, and connection. This calling to serve prompted her to seek a Master’s in Counseling (2023) and recently led her to open Kaia Fowler Arts & Wellbeing in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

Press quotes

“It’s apparent- from her impressive guitar-work, beautiful voice, and intentional, evocative lyrics- that she is the real deal when it comes to both singing and songwriting.” —KATIE HUTCHINSON & FARMER SHAUN, 2019 hosts of Another Green World, WORT FM 89.9, Madison, Wis.

"One Breath is, well, breathtaking!  It was one of the best albums I received in 2022. Kaia Fowler is a gifted songwriter and vocalist."

— Lilli Kuzma, Host of "Folk Festival" on WDCB Public Radio

“Kaia Fowler puts on an outstanding performance for Noel Manor in a number of settings including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. Kaia is professional, personable, and extremely talented. She does a tremendous job at incorporating her personal songs with old time favorites. We look forward to having her each month on our activity calendar.” — Hailey Haas, Activities Director, Noel Manor, Madison, Wis.

"When a CD is as sparsely orchestrated as Seams of My Heart is, the lyrics need to help carry the load, and they do. Fowler is a tremendous lyricist. Her lyrics paint pictures, and her musical notes add the color to her songs. She wrote all the songs on this CD and deserves all the credit for creating such works of art. . . . I really, really like this CD. I have seen Fowler live and her performances are true to this recording. There were not a lot of studio tricks here. Just really great songs performed by great musicians, and that equals a great recording. Watch for Fowler playing in your area." — Album Review from the Americana Gazette, Aug-Sept 2010 issue
