Gilded Algae
hip-hop-rap Artist
Kai Alston, known as Gilded Algae, was supposed to be a classical cellist. After a spectacular flameout at the Savannah College of Art and Design left him with crippling debt and a deep-seated imposter syndrome, he started making trap music in his small apartment, sampling the very instrument that represented his failure. His songs are the sound of his hometown, Savannah: gothic, humid, and beautiful on the surface but with a deep-seated decay underneath. He still works as a valet, parking cars for the rich tourists who have no idea the man parking their Bentley just dropped a track that sounds like Future composing a funeral march in a haunted mansion.
