Kenny Elrod is the burst of energy you crave on a tough day. The Illinois-born singer, songwriter, and producer first made waves with his debut single Sunrise, which went viral in 2020 and hit #1 on Spotify’s United States Viral 50 playlist. Blending alt-pop, synth-pop, and a bit of R&B, Kenny creates energetic, emotionally rich songs that turn personal stories into upbeat anthems
Through his artistry, Kenny strives to carve out a larger space for Black and queer artists in pop music. Growing up in an environment where representation was limited, he’s driven by the desire to inspire others to be unapologetically themselves. His music, performances, and personality all reflect that mission — bold, vibrant, and authentically him.
With over 9 million streams across platforms and praise from big names in the industry, Kenny continues to build a loyal global following. Now based in Boston while pursuing a degree in Songwriting at Berklee College of Music, he’s made a name for himself through countless live shows across the city. As he looks ahead, Kenny’s focus is clear: to spread his sound and story to the world, proving that representation and great pop music can — and should — go hand in hand.
