A painting by Kaza

In loving memory

Art by Kaza

A singular mind, and a soul entirely his own.

Twenty-two years · a lifetime of seeing differently

“Taxi Cab” — their song

Joey — known as Kaza

He drew the things most people keep in the dark.

Runes and skulls. Mushrooms that glowed. Faces that weren’t quite human — the world the way it looked from behind his eyes.

He loved music more than almost anything — and made his own, as Kid Kaza.

Handwritten in pencil by Kaza: Kaza — someone who makes other people happy with their presence.
“Kaza — someone who makes other people happy with their presence.”His own definition of his name — in his hand

Twenty‑two years was never enough. He filled every one of them, and signed it Kaza.

In his own hand

Found in pencil on the back of one of his paintings.

Handwritten in pencil by Kaza: Resilience — the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties.
“Resilience — the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties.”

He was never afraid of the dark.
He painted in it.

He made music, too

Kid Kaza

Paint wasn’t the only place he put it all. Press play, and let him fill the room.

Three months after he was gone,
his daughter was born.

Now his art carries her forward.

Every piece here is from Kaza’s own hand — and every sale supports his daughter.

his mother painted his name.
