Coached by his Dad young Kaden has had a natural ability for rhythm from a very early age. At the age of 2 yrs he was following and performing beats to his favorite songs with amazing control. By 4 yrs he was ready to perform and seemed unwavered by the audience and was thrilled when they applauded. His first performance was at a dance festival at a local hotel. Soon after he performed at a city event for a charity called "Father's Million March" with the Mayor in attendence. Kaden has attended Soar Charter School since Kindergarten and has performed for many events including a Christmas pageant every year!
At age five he also performed at the Brandin' Iron Dance Hall for a special event.
His first competition was at "Redlands Star Search" at age 7 yr and he won "Audience Favorite". The following year (2018) he competed in "Riverside's Got Talent" sponsored by Uptown Kiwanis and won 5th place. (We were super stoked as there were over 100 auditions and he was in the top 18) In 2019 he competed at a fundraiser by "Boo 2 Bullying" and got to meet some awesome folks who are from the recording and film industry including Alvin Taylor, a drummer who's performed with many including Elton John!
Kaden won first Place in the Youth Division.
Wes Hornung has been a drummer for many years and has taught his son most of his drumming. Wes enrolled Kaden with David Bown (a local instructor) at Music Central in Redlands where he has been learning to read music and get more fundamentals for over three years.
Kaden has primarily worked on his own but is currently starting to work with live bands. We look forward to the future with more competitions! However, he also enjoys school, games, classic car events with Dad, and lots of bike riding!
The pandemic put a bit of a halt to competitions and by late 2021 he was performing at school and had added a band consisting of teachers and a couple more students.
June 10, 2022 Redlands Star Search invited him back to compete. He played "Wipeout" and took home cash prizes and two trophies for Audience favorite and Top Fundraiser! He was now 11 years old!
We'll keep you posted on upcoming events and concerts!
