Vocals &
Guitar: Scott Kusayanagi
Scott actually started out as a drummer performing at numerous
clubs but it was his dad who put a guitar in his hand so they
could gig together. Soon Scott was not only playing guitar
but singing lead and the band (10til2) landed bassist Jeff
Payne. With multiple projects he was performing at venues
like The Whiskey in LA to the Hard Rock Cafe. Scott stayed
busy in the music scene and is now focused with LoveKraft
delivering a high energy show with quality musicianship.

he studied guitar and worked for the well known music store,
"Gelb Music" located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

the scene came early. He founded the hard rock band "Jaded
Rain" in the 90's having 500+ heads at every show, radio

all into practice four sets a night gigging with various local
bands. As a bassist and singer, he worked with an extensive
