Kajsa Thuresson-Frary
Producer, Songwriter
(lyrics & music)
Music-making in various forms has been a part of Kajsa's life since early childhood. Born in Arvika, Sweden, she grew up in a region rich in music and art. During a twenty-five year career in the arts, she's produced and directed education programs, festivals, events and shows, and collaborated in-depth with artists, educators, and students. Music and writing have been constants in a life filled to the brim with creative job projects and raising a family. Purpose, curiosity and love - and other things that make humans pursue lives of goodness - are key interests in art and in life. In her free time, Kajsa enjoys spending time with family and friends, finding fun new eateries, hiking the beautiful outdoors, and spending time in her desert garden.
