Carried by breezy waves of live instrumentation, buoyant production, and instantly infectious choruses, Kevian Kraemer’s music sounds a lot like an endless summer. His bright mix of alternative, indie, and pop alternates between the kind of excitement usually brought on by June’s final school bell, sparks of energy perfect for a July night sky, and a fleeting longing typically reserved for August’s last days. Growing up in New Jersey, music surrounded him from every angle. Taking drum lessons at Lakehouse Music Academy in Asbury Park, NJ, he recognized his calling. His arsenal expanded to include piano, saxophone, bass, and ukulele. In high school, he finally opted to write and record original tunes of his own on GarageBand. He initially gained traction with releases such as “Rug,” “Sweater,” and “Buddy.” In 2024, a snippet of “Fly” went viral on TikTok, leading to over 2M global streams. 2024 also saw the release of Kraemer’s debut EP, Seventeen, highlighted by his breakthrough hit single, “Attention,” which quickly amassed more than 15M worldwide streams and counting. Kraemer further continued the momentum in 2025 with the release of his sophomore EP, Jersey or Mars, and a sold-out debut headline tour—catching the attention of outlets like PEOPLE, which touted him as one of its “Talented Emerging Artists for Your Fall Playlist. ”Now, with his recent single, “i just get worse,” and upcoming EP, only if it matters, Kevian Kraemer shows no sign of slowing down, captivating fans everywhere with an undeniable and unshakable style all his own.
