When KennyHoopla's 'how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway' hit one million views on YouTube earlier this year, the industry got on its toes, wondering who is this boy coming through, out of nowhere, with 2000s indie melancholia and his heart up for grabs.
Only a few months later this 23-year-old, Wisconsin-based singer - also known as Kenneth La'ron - got an EP out and booked Europe tour with Yungblud. A whole new life has unravelled in front of him in a blink of an eye. Though, neither the sudden success nor fans crowning him a love child of Bloc Party, New Order and Tyler, The Creator has shocked Kenny. He was playing to win since day one. It just had to happen.
"I think everyone else was more surprised that it was so quick. I feel like I've been about it since I came out of the womb. I guess I'm not surprised because I'm the person who'd get it done at all cost. No matter what. No matter how long it takes. That's just one part of me, that I know for certain, more than anything, is that I can't stop until I get what I need," says Kenny, in his usual considered manner.
