Kellan Christopher Cragg Channels Vulnerability On 'After The Rain'

Emerging indie-folk prodigy makes his mark with self-produced single

At just 17 years old, Kellan Christopher Cragg is proving himself a prodigious force in the indie scene with his self-produced single 'After The Rain'. Blending raw introspection with masterful production, Cragg crafts a soundscape that evokes both stormy introspection and sunlit clarity.

The track builds like the weather it’s named after: delicate and reflective at first, then swelling into a crescendo of cathartic release. Drawing comparisons to Alex G’s experimental edge and Sufjan Stevens’ heartfelt lyricism, Cragg’s multi-instrumental talent is on full display. His arrangements are intricate but never overdone, leaving space for his poignant storytelling to shine through.

Cragg’s musical journey is marked by his DIY ethos and relentless curiosity, pulling inspiration from rock, jazz, hip-hop, and alt influences. Beyond music, he’s also a professional dancer, a creative duality that informs his fluid and emotive approach to artistry.

Self-described as “accidentally vulnerable,” Cragg’s honesty permeates every note, reflecting his explorations of both the known and the unknown.

'After The Rain' isn’t just a song—it’s a statement. For Cragg, music isn’t a hobby or a career; it’s a lifeline. And with this release, he’s steering his own indie highway, boldly carving a lane that’s all his own.
