Description

Confessional and captivating, kenzie’s left-of-center pop contains the kind of lived-in detail that immediately stirs up massive emotion. Whether she’s reflecting on a recent heartache or opening up about common struggles like anxiety, the 19-year-old singer/songwriter infuses every song with immense sensitivity, along with the same disarmingly genuine presence that’s earned her a major social media following. But as the Los Angeles-based artist reveals, gaining the courage to speak her truth took years of self-discovery and quietly building up confidence.

Newly signed to Hollywood Records, kenzie matches her unguarded introspection with a moody and mesmerizing sound that endlessly spotlights her spellbinding vocal work. Her debut single “100 degrees” unfolds as a dance-ready breakup anthem built on fuzzed-out beats and shimmering synth tones. “That was my favorite session,” says kenzie, who created “100 degrees” with an all-female team of co-writers, including her frequent collaborator/producer Lenii. “Most of my favorite songs come from working with other girls; I always feel so free to say whatever I want. I love that one because it’s a breakup song but it’s so upbeat, something you want to dance to with all your friends.” 

On her current single, “paper,” kenzie offers up a stark but hypnotic slow-burner that perfectly captures the pain of watching the one you love move on. “I put a snippet of that online, and people told me how much they related to the feeling of seeing your ex with another person and automatically comparing yourself to them,” says kenzie. “I love the way it came out because it’s so organic—you can hear every breath and every break in my voice, and it just feels so real.”

As she continues to piece together her next body of work, kenzie has begun broadening her musicality by teaching herself to play ukulele and taking up both piano and guitar, in addition to sharpening her craft as a songwriter and looks forward to revealing even more of her vast inner world.
