Prior to joining As Friends Rust, Stewart had a short-lived professional skateboarding career, sang in the post-punk band The Sarx and the punk rock band Southpaw (both based in Tampa), and played bass guitar in the Gainesville punk rock band Sissy. Following his time in As Friends Rust, he played guitar and provided backing vocals in the punk rock band The Sheryl Cro(w) Mags (later renamed Cro(w)s), with his best friend Chris Wollard (of Hot Water Music), which was sporadically active from 2000 to 2004, and sang in the acoustic folk duo Goodnight at the End of the Tunnel with Moyal in 2005.
He began performing solo material under his own name in 2000, but by November 2001, his project had taken up the moniker Grey Goose. After recruiting several band members, including his brother Levi Stewart, Grey Goose evolved into a proper post-hardcore band. Following Grey Goose's hiatus in 2005, Stewart returned to playing solo material under the short-lived project Bread Riot.
Stewart resumed his solo career in 2015, altering between bookings under his own name and as Grey Goose. By mid-2017, he had abandoned the Grey Goose moniker and steadily performed under his own name. He prolifically recorded a series of solo albums and EPs over the next three years and promoted the releases with five European tours before passing away in 2021.

Stewart was introduced to music by his maternal grandparents, Milton McNeil Ferguson and Elizabeth Anne Elliott, who lived in Hillsdale, Michigan and brought him to country gospel music concerts at their local religious venue, The Gospel Barn. Stewart later noted the Bill Gaither Trio as the first band he remembered seeing live. His father also listened to blues music and introduced him to Lead Belly;{{Cite web |last=Cappiello |first=June |date=January 27, 2005 |title=Grey Goose aims to keep it alive as CD goes national |url=https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00028290/00017 |access-date=June 5, 2022 |website=University of Florida Digital Collections |publisher=The Independent Florida Alligator}} Stewart would later name his solo project Grey Goose, after the folk song made famous by Lead Belly.

In 1990, his family relocated to Cochabamba, Bolivia, as part of their missionary work, before returning to the United States and settling in Tampa, Florida in the fall of 1992.

Stewart and his younger brother Seth began skateboarding during high school and quickly became part of the local Tampa, Florida skateboarding scene after moving there in 1992. In early 1994, Stewart was noticed by a representative of New Deal Skateboards and received a sponsorship. He moved to Los Angeles, California (where his older brother Justin was based) and joined the company's professional skateboarding team, competing in local and international competitions. Stewart traveled to the United Kingdom and Europe in July and August 1994, to compete in international skateboarding competitions, including the 13th edition of the Münster Monster Mastership World Cup 94 in Münster, Germany.{{Cite news |date=August 5–7, 1994 |title=World Cup Skaters |edition=13 |work=13th Münster Monster Mastership World Cup 94 |publisher=SMO Sport Marketing + Organisations |issue=1994 |location=Münster, Germany |editor-last=Dittmann |editor-first=Titus |type=Event programme}}{{Cite web |date=February 11, 2020 |orig-date=August 5–7, 1994 |title=Münster Monster Mastership (1994) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P67Q0p1ta0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705070233/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P67Q0p1ta0 |archive-date=July 5, 2022 |access-date=July 5, 2022 |publisher=Metro Skateboards |via=YouTube}}{{Cite web |date=January 23, 2019 |orig-date=August 5–7, 1994 |title=Munster Monster Mastership 1994 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxjAAqTG-XA |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705070551/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxjAAqTG-XA |archive-date=July 5, 2022 |access-date=July 5, 2022 |website=Eurosport |publisher=László Péter Megyesi |via=YouTube}} By the end of 1994, after suffering a knee injury and being disenchanted with the professional skateboarding society, Stewart returned to Tampa.
Back in Florida, Stewart formed his first band, taking up lead vocals in the Morrissey-influenced post-punk band The Sarx. In a retrospective interview, Stewart singled out a Nirvana concert from November 28, 1993, at the Lakeland Civic Center, in Lakeland, Florida, as the best show he attended as a teenager and an influence on his starting to write music.{{Cite web |title=November 28, 1993 - Jenkins Arena, Lakeland Civic Center, Lakeland, FL, US |url=https://www.livenirvana.com/concerts/93/93-11-28.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807211043/https://www.livenirvana.com/concerts/93/93-11-28.php |archive-date=August 7, 2020 |access-date=July 17, 2022 |website=Live Nirvana}} In 1996, Stewart formed a new punk rock band, Southpaw, which included drummer Greg Drudy, bass guitarist Paul Dryer, and guitarist Chris von Spiegelfeld (Stewart was again lead vocalist).{{Cite web |title=Southpaw |url=https://musicbrainz.org/artist/7bce0862-6c1c-4bae-94cc-bf5bd58cc7fa |access-date=June 4, 2022 |website=MusicBrainz}}

Stewart moved to Gainesville, Florida in 1997 to be closer to his girlfriend, whom he had been dating since high school. During this period, Stewart dedicated much time to his guitar and recording original material on a TASCAM four-track cassette recorder, often collaborating with friends. In June 1997, he joined established punk rock band Sissy (formerly Tiger) as its new bass guitarist, replacing Jason Szrom.{{Cite web |title=Kaleb Stewart |url=https://musicbrainz.org/artist/34b2aa8e-9a07-4f82-993f-c065afe8f91c |access-date=May 3, 2022 |website=MusicBrainz}} The band then also included vocalist Jeff Kissinger, drummer (and Stewart's roommate) Garry Gillooly, and guitarists Dave Rohm and Brian Wysolmierski.
In November 1997, Stewart became Gainesville-based melodic hardcore band Hot Water Music's roadie and road manager, starting with a month-long tour of the East Coast and Midwest United States shared with Elliott and Beta Minus Mechanic.{{Cite web |last=Black |first=Jason |date=February 1999 |title=Hot Water Music Bio |url=http://www.some.com/hwm/hwm.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990427091030/http://www.some.com/hwm/hwm.html |archive-date=April 27, 1999 |access-date=July 2, 2022 |website=Some Records}} He continued to tour with Hot Water Music and related side-projects for the next several years, whenever As Friends Rust's schedule allowed it. This included a two-week tour shared by The Blacktop Cadence and Jejune up the East Coast and Midwest United States in March 1998, and a nation-wide, two-month tour during which Hot Water Music was billed with Sick of It All, AFI, and Indecision from October 6 to November 21, 1999.{{Cite web |date=October 11, 1999 |title=1999 "Life on the Ropes Tour" with Sick of It All / AFI / Hot Water Music / Indecision |url=http://www.sickofitall.com/tour.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991011020933/http://www.sickofitall.com/tour.html |archive-date=October 11, 1999 |access-date=July 17, 2022 |website=Sick of It All}}

Stewart joined As Friends Rust as its bass guitarist and backing vocalist in March 1998, when lead vocalist Damien Moyal reformed the band with a new line-up in Gainesville, Florida (the band had previously existed from 1996 to 1997 and was originally based in Davie, Florida).{{cite book |last=Prenger |first=Johan |url=http://archive.org/details/Reflections12 |title=Reflections 12 (1999) |publisher=Reflections Magazine |year=1999 |location=Vroomshoop, Netherlands |publication-date=1999 |pages=40–45 |language=en |chapter=Interview with Damien Moyal of As Friends Rust and Culture |orig-date=September 5, 1998 |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/Reflections12/page/n33 |via=Internet Archive |issue=12}} Coincidentally, Hot Water Music's bass guitarist Jason Black had first been approached for the position in June 1997, and though he showed interest, he never got around to practicing with the band. Stewart had first met Moyal while attending a Shai Hulud concert on February 24, 1996, at Joe Mocha's Coffee House at The Refuge in Saint Petersburg, Florida, immediately becoming a fan of the vocalist's work and purchasing Shai Hulud's demo tape. The two later bumped into each other in 1997 at Leonardo's Pizza By the Slice (where Stewart was working) in Gainesville, at which time Stewart asked Moyal to keep him in mind if he ever needed a guitarist or bass guitarist for his bands. Moyal came to see Stewart perform at a Sissy concert at The University Club in Gainesville in March 1998, and afterwards formally asked him to join the reforming As Friends Rust. Stewart was at that time the only member of As Friends Rust not simultaneously playing in the metallic hardcore band Culture; the other members included drummer Timothy Kirkpatrick, and guitarists Gordon Tarpley and Joseph Simmons.{{cite web |last=Julien |first=Alexandre |author-link=Alexander Julien |date=January 9, 2008 |title=Culture |url=http://www.abridgedpause.com/culture |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200116045233/http://www.abridgedpause.com/culture |archive-date=January 16, 2020 |access-date=September 5, 2020 |website=Abridged Pause Blog |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Stevens |first=Stephanie |date=December 2001 |title=As Friends Rust Interview |url=http://www.eastcoastromper.com/afr.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020204202445/http://www.eastcoastromper.com/afr.html |archive-date=February 4, 2002 |access-date=March 23, 2022 |website=East Coast Romper}}

Several shows later, Moyal lost his voice, leading Stewart to switch from bass guitar to lead vocals, and Bartsocas temporarily filling in as bass guitarist. Moyal and Simmons called ex-Culture bass guitarist Christopher "Floyd" Beckham (Glayat's at-the-time roommate) from Europe, asking him to join As Friends Rust as its new guitarist upon returning home, much to Stewart's dismay, leading the latter to quit the band.
