Kytami started taking violin lessons at 3 years of age. She went through an intense classical training at the Vancouver Academy of Music including orchestra, chamber groups, theory, private lessons, technique and master classes. At 17 years of age, feeling a little rebellious, she decided to take a big step back from studying and the classical scene. Falling in love with snowboarding and later on mountain biking, she put the violin aside to go live and exlplore the mountains around Whistler B.C.
