Kai Otto Wesener was born on May 1, 2006 in Fremont, California. His name is Hawaiian for the sea and his middle name is from his grandfather of German descent.
He was a beloved son, grandson, brother and friend. Kai was an amazing, talented young man with a keen sense of humor, kind, generous and adventurous heart. His background included six years of gymnastics, mountain biking, rock climbing, skate boarding, and ran for the High School cross country team. He grew up loving the outdoors with his family and spent many trips camping, going to the beach, and hiking the Sierras. A seasoned traveler, he visited the Amazon, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico, Greece, and the Hawaiian Islands.
Kai attended preschool at ABC Magic Moments, Sunol Glen School from kindergarten through 8th grade, then transitioned to Washington High School.
Kai was passionate about music, an excellent musician proficient on guitar, drums, bass and keyboard. He played the trombone in Band, and co-founded the first rock band, Bitty Smash, in his middle school at Sunol Glen. He wrote and produced his own music and eventually was selected at GRAMMY Camp 2023 by the GRAMMY Museum as one of 86 talented high school students from 71 U.S. cities across 22 states. He spent one week at USC over the summer to learn, collaborate, and train with his peers and recording industry professionals.
He had just released an album on Band Camp of music he wrote, performed and produced himself under the name bl4ck m4rket c4rt. He was planning to pursue a degree in Audio Engineering and Music Technology.
He was deeply loved by many and will be missed beyond measure. A Celebration of Life will follow in the near future.
