Kaetos’ musical journey is a symphony of passion and mastery. Picking up the guitar at 12, he quickly rose to prominence, earning accolades as an outstanding senior guitarist in high school. His talent blossomed further during college, where he toured Idaho and Washington State in a dazzling jazz ensemble.

Inspired by legends like B.B. King, Slash, and Wes Montgomery, Kaeto channels the essence of jazz, classical, rock, metal, and blues in his versatile style. Now, as the guitarist for the modern rock band A Second To Breathe, he electrifies audiences, including a breakout debut at the Good Wood Festival in Rocky Ford, Colorado. This fall, his journey takes a new turn as he begins teaching guitar as an adjunct professor at CSU-Pueblo.
