Yes, he's really 13. And yes, his music is brutal AF and he represents the future of heavy music.
"'Carry the Weight' isn't just another heavy song; it's a look at envy," Archer says, showcasing an astuteness beyond his years. "People see the highlight reel, the good side of my life, and say, 'I want that.' Sometimes wanting to be in my shoes, but they have no idea the work that goes on when the camera isn't rolling. Or the work that had to happen as a 10-year-old to right now to get to this point."
Wichita, Kansas-based vocalist Kage Archer is redefining the future of heavy music at just 13 years old. A multi-instrumentalist who mastered drums at four and self-taught guitar and bass shortly after, Kage found his true calling behind the mic. His rise began when a TikTok video of him covering Motionless in White's "Slaughterhouse" went viral, landing him on stage with the band at age 10 in front of 6,000+ fans, a performance Chris Motionless (Motionless in White Vocalist) dubbed a "Top-10 career moment."
Known to collect high-profile performances like Infinity stones, Kage has demolished stages with Fit For A King, From Ashes to New, Alphawolf, and I Prevail. Now, with guidance from industry heavy-hitter Hiram Hernandez (Producer for Blessthefall, Saosin, Left To Suffer, etc.) and backing from The Artery Foundation, Kage Archer is stepping out of the cover scene to unleash his own original music and dominate the heavy music world.
