Cayden Wemple w/ Timmy Skelly

Cayden Wemple is a Los Angeles based Emo-Folk singer-songwriter. Born and raised in San Luis Obispo, Wemple picked up guitar at the early age of 8, and has been enamored with the instrument ever since. His interest and dedication to songwriting then came some years later after the untimely passing of a family friend who inspired Wemple to start writing his own songs. Beginning in high school, Wemple started to hone in on his sound – gathering musical inspiration from artists such as Bon Iver, Bright Eyes, and Phoebe Bridgers. Soon after, he attended the University of Colorado – Denver, where he studied songwriting and music business. During college, Wemple played in an Emo band, Keep Off the Grass – a project that he spent the better part of 4 years writing and playing shows for. After the band dispersed, Wemple began writing his own songs again – this time marrying his Indie/Folk roots with his newfound appreciation for Emo music. In the Summer of 2022, he recorded a group of singles and started posting them on TikTok, eventually garnering him some attention and leading him to release his debut single “not to catch you by surprise.” Shortly after being released, the song received editorial support from Spotify, landing on Fresh Finds Folk. Since then, Wemple’s music has continued to find success across streaming and social media platforms, even leading him to be discovered and signed by R&R (records) and Interlude Studios (management). Now coming off the recent release of his debut EP (‘Last Night in Slow Time’), as well as having new collaborations with Shallow Alcove, Grace Gardner, and Khatumu out in the world, Wemple’s passion and energy for his craft is at an all-time high – and he has no plans of slowing down. With more unreleased music in the pipeline and a steady stream of live shows on the horizon, there is much to look forward to from Cayden Wemple.
