Kaden lives and grew up in Alliance, Nebraska. He was born on February 23, 2008, making him 15 years old. His hobbies include reading and playing in band. In band, he plays clarinet and bass clarinet. The difference between bass clarinet and clarinet is the sound and looks, clarinets are thin and small, while bass clarinets are bulky and a lot bigger. Kaden plays Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and Genshin Impact, he likes playing them because they’re calming to him. He wants to go to college to be either a nurse, a music teacher or to play in an orchestra. He hasn’t really thought about where he would like to go for those specific jobs. He likes helping people, and he is very big on band, so those were most suitable for him. Kaden is still deciding on what college he wants to go to. He has two dogs and three cats, he also loves animals. His favorite musician is Lana Del Ray because of the genre of her music. 

Diving into a more personal light of him, he joined band and football in sixth grade. He enjoyed band and played baritone. Now, in high-school, he plays clarinet, flute, and bass clarinet. He would compete in multiple competitions for band, which include Scottsbluff and District Music Contest where he played a solo on clarinet. During the end of middle school, going into his highschool year, he would take summer band lessons for the Scottsbluff Parade. Going into freshman year, he would take band, he would audition for jazz band and get into the class. Fast forward through freshman year, into the summer of his sophomore year, he would attend summer band and fundraisers for the Georgia Band Trip. That’s all that has happened so far. He joined The Spud because he enjoys journalism and writing about what is happening in high school. He hopes to accomplish writing a lot of stories and involve himself in more activities to help his school.
