We recently connected with K3NN and have shared our conversation below.

K3NN, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

I first realized I wanted to do music when I was in church. I was in my church’s choir. Well I was the leader of the Youth Choir. From there I went to school chorus and that just kept going until I was out of high school. Throughout that time I knew I wanted to be in music, but it was more than just that. I wouldn’t be happy just being a producer or song writer. Even though both of those roles are super important and dope AF. I just knew I had to be in front of the camera too. I had to be the one you heard saying my lyrics too. I didn’t just want to be behind the scenes. After school I just kept going for it. I kept writing and recording then finally decided to release. Once I finally released music it was confirmed. I was right. I’m supposed to be the one doing it.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’m K3NN! I’m a blend of pop rap and hip hop music presented through the lenses of a black, gay, and unapologetically real human. I make music that I wish I heard when I was growing up.

I didn’t have a necessarily hard childhood, but I was the outcast. I was the geek. I was different. I was uncomfortable in who I was and didn’t fit in anywhere. I wish that I heard K3NN somewhere when I was younger so I could be comforted in who I was. It took too long for me to realize I’m fine the way I am. So now I try to help anyone who needs it.

My music is meant for anyone who feels like they’re different. Yes you’re different but you’re amazing because of it. Come join the Kinfolk because we love you for who you are!

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding part of making music, to me, is the person that says “you helped me through a tough time.” That’s the moment that all the work is validated. That’s the moment where are the bad stuff makes sense because the good overcame all that.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

I feel like society should do its best to allow those who are different exist in peace. Allow those who’ don’t always conform to your ideology space to exist and live and love.
