Hi I'm a singer/ song writer/ guitarist. I ran away from my home town in the desert to the city to make music at 16 and I am still wandering Australia playing today.      find me at www.swiftboi.com

Heyyy if you want to reach me, email cricketkingsley@gmail.com


Self taught musician. Professional, free jams, solo or group sessions. Session player. Love to bring music to all and share it with everybody. Blurring the lines betwixt performer and audience. 


Shauna is “perhaps something of an unusual combination in the music business – a grief support worker and educator who found music as a method for creative release, but turned it into an upstart and promising career” (Nanaimo Daily News, August 2015). And the passion she has for her work translates into her songs in themes about the strength of the human heart and resilience of the human spirit – about reaching into the rough and beautiful places that are a catalyst for transformation and love.

As a self-taught guitar player, her unconventional approach and folk-soprano voice has garnered her appreciative audiences and quick recognition ever since. Her first single in 2010, Simple Beautiful, turned heads as far as the U.S. market. Following that, in 2012 she released the album Divinity, recorded within the folk duo Vital Hands, which also received attention in the Vancouver film industry.

Most recently, Shauna released a self-recorded EP in November 2014, and her song Redwood was nominated “Song of the Year” at the 2015 Vancouver Island Music Awards. Her full length studio album This Regal Heart was released June 2016, recorded at yourSOUNDSCAPEstudio in Victoria and mastered at Gotham City Studios, Vancouver (Sarah McLaughlin, Heart, Delirium).



"The irrepressible Shauna Janz took the stage. She blew me out of the water with her confidence and musical expertise...her beautiful voice with the amazing range. She regaled the audience with her humour, charm and talent. Shauna has an incredible vocal range, hitting the high notes most singers only dream of." Sheila Pratt, Founder of Victoria Music Friends.








Kara Taylor is a local musician, residing on  Lekwungen territories otherwise known asVictoria, BC. Their style is like their personality: full of variety, unapologetic, and deeply feeling. Kara’s musical influences are heard across their unique tracks, from acoustic singer/songwriter, to riot girl rock, to jazz, to blues, to hip hop, to experimental, to electronic (and recently, and somewhat surprisingly, to old country). Kara is not one to shy away from taking risks and pushing musical, lyrical, and vocal boundaries.  

From 14-19 yrs old Kara played the circuit of coffee shops and bars from Ottawa to Calgary to Victoria. They cut their first demos at 14 and 16 years old, but packed away dreams of being a rockstar upon entering university and subsequently becoming a Mama. 

A decade later, Kara put out their EP, with help from an amazing producer who discovered Kara at a local open mic, an audio engineer/drummer sent from heaven, and a roadie who turned out to play electric guitar like a badass—giving weight to Kara’s already deep sound. This decidedly rock ‘n’ roll EP, channeled old school greats like Janis Joplin, and won them a Q-award for Best of Artist of the Year. 

They have performed as a singer-songwriter and guitarist for over two decades, with their raw, emotional, introspective lyrics and sultry vocals. However, after taking a hiatus since 2012 due to heartbreak, breakup, breakdowns, and fighting (& beating) Lyme disease, 2018 brought Kara back home to the stage with a new sound, new songs, and a new instrument — the piano. 

They masterfully take their grief, the stripped-down, feel it in your bones, nakedness of the piano, and the genre of old country, to expose their raw vulnerability, their dark days, and their resiliency. This culmination of experiences, musical genres, instrumental experimentation, and finding a second home in the piano, has given their powerful vocals, and big, big feelings, the room they deserve. Kara is blowing apart stylistic doors that they were born to open. 

New tunes are currently being produced, but in the meantime, check out their EP, self-produced tracks, live radio podcasts, and shows. stay current on all the happenings on SoundCloud.
