Tragically Magic

Chad Kinnear grew up in small Massachusetts towns with unique
names like Falmouth and Mashpee. Kinnear suffered numerous life-threatening injuries in his life.
Friends nicknamed him “Black Magic,” as he continued to cheated death, over and over again.
Surviving everything from severe burns and electrocution, to poisoning and accidental overdose, Magic
has been knocked down repeatedly, but he always finds a way to bounce back. Identifying with
misfortune, he adopted the fitting stage-name, Tragically Magic, and began using music to draw
audiences through the darkness, into the light on the other side of trauma.
Tragically Magic pulls from a vast vocabulary and dabbles in experimental rhyme schemes. He delves
deep into the complexities of the human psyche, using his spoken word style to navigate an engaging
backdrop of rhythm. His voice lifts audiences up, pulling them out of sorrow. With an original hip-hop
sound, Tragically Magic integrates 90’s-style beats into his captivating raps. His parent’s taste in music
had direct influence on Magic’s early interests. From his dad, he gained classic rock legends, like
AC/DC, while his mother contributed smooth R&B, like Usher and Ne-Yo. Magic also notes, Dax and
J. Cole, as two other artists impacting his methodology.
Writing from the pain of physical injury, Tragically Magic pulls deep from the darkness of his soul,
finds a guiding light, and holds it up for others.
