Born and raised in Los Angeles, Albert Kass found an emotional connection to music at an early age. He first began singing at his religious school. Inspired by the haunting beauty of classical piano pieces played by his sister, Kass began writing his own songs, using music as a natural outlet for processing life. Singing, though unintentional at first, emerged naturally as his musical journey evolved.

Influenced by the likes of Tom Petty, The Black Keys, Neil Young, Alabama Shakes, Jeff Buckley, The Band, and countless others, Kass blends cinematic and heartfelt elements of indie and alternative rock into a sound that’s raw yet deeply human. His debut record, Young Old Man, was a folk-driven reflective work. However, his upcoming release marks a bold shift toward a more rock-oriented sound, with Kass moving to the baritone guitar as his primary instrument — giving the songs new depth, tonal grit, and live-band energy. The new material pairs emotional honesty with the visceral power of a full band.
