In an era where authenticity is king, SEANKENNEDY is claiming his throne. The Hartford, CT native has a story to tell and a voice that demands to be heard. With a passion ignited by personal tragedy and fueled by a relentless drive, SEANKENNEDY is transforming his experiences into a soundtrack for the soul.
“I try to treat my music like little updates of what’s going on in my head, and life, at the time. If someone can relate to anything that I have gone through, shown through my lyrics, I hope I can help them feel better by letting them know they aren’t alone and that it all gets better.”
SEANKENNEDY’s journey into the music industry was marked by heartbreak. The loss of his mother to cancer sent his world spiraling. Yet, in the depths of his grief, he found solace in songwriting. “After writing about the situation and recording in my bedroom, I was able to make a song which is now called ‘Treasure’ and will be released in 2025,” he recalls. “Once I used music as my outlet to cope with this loss, I realized that it not only helped me emotionally, but also that I have a passion for creating music, which then led me to produce more.”
This passion has propelled SEANKENNEDY’s rise. He’s opened for major acts like NLE Choppa and released his debut EP, SLACKER, to a crowd of devoted fans. His singles “Too Fast” and “Hold Me Down” have received radio play on Hot 93.7, with DJ Meechie naming him one of Connecticut’s top 10 artists of 2022. Yet, SEANKENNEDY remains grounded, recognizing the challenges of the industry. “Learning how to say ‘no’ and remaining true to my word, and to myself, has been something that I have grown to understand,” he admits. “There are a lot of snakes in the grass…and the only way you can stay true to yourself is by putting your foot down and putting yourself first.”
As SEANKENNEDY looks to the future, his ambitions are clear. “I really want to be on tour somewhere, whether it is in the US opening for someone big or in Europe,” he shares. “I also envision myself winning an award for my music as well, whether that be a Billboard award or a Grammy. I won’t stop making music until I’m able to reach that point in my career, or at least until I feel fulfilled.”
The next chapter of SEANKENNEDY’s story begins with the release of his single “Don’t Let Go,” a deeply personal track dropping in the coming months. This song marks a milestone in his life, and its accompanying video will feature intimate footage of his marriage proposal and baby shower. It’s a testament to how far he’s come and a glimpse into the heights he’s destined to reach.
With his music serving as a beacon of hope and resilience, SEANKENNEDY is an artist you need to know. His voice is raw, his message is real, and his potential is limitless. As he continues to transform his pain into powerful anthems, SEANKENNEDY is not only claiming his place in the music industry – he’s redefining what it means to turn tragedy into triumph.
