Last year, Kayden won two Best Young Actress awards for her role in the independent film “Message from the Mermaids.” Kayden won an international Gold Best Young Actress award from the Independent Shorts Film Festival and a Best Young Actress award from the Venice Shorts Film Festival.
Along with starring in several films including “My Melancholy Baby” on Amazon Prime and playing the role of 13-year-old Martha Mitchell (Julia Roberts) on “Gaslit,” Kayden just finished filming a role in Director Richard Bakewell’s ’80s sci-fi feature film “Roswell Delirium” starring Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel and others that is scheduled for release early summer 2023.
Along with acting, which she began pursuing at age 10, Kayden is an advocate. She served as keynote speaker for the 34th annual Walk Against Drugs in Orange County last year – spreading the message to tweens and teens to say NO to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and vaping – and was also a “celebrity” speaker for last year’s Red Cross LA fundraiser that also featured Mario Lopez. Kayden was also part of the Joyful Child Foundation’s 2019 (founded and led by Erin Runnion) “Be Brave, Be Safe” pilot aimed at empowering kids against predators.
Kayden is represented by Sueanne Edan of Tangerine Talent and Heather Bragg of Established Artists.
