KaiL Baxley hails from the small backwater town of Williston-Elko, South Carolina, the birthplace and stomping grounds of the late great soul legend James Brown, with whom Baxley shared an unlikely friendship with as a child. Baxley’s music explores many different styles, blues, folk, gospel and soul among them. While Brown’s influence is most apparent on Baxley’s more hard driving soul grooves, with their syncopated beats and self assured attitude, his vocal delivery owes more to the laid back style of a Bill Withers. He is now based in California.     @KaiLBaxley
