Kenan is the best

Kenan is very talented and has a very beautiful voice. He sang for our wedding and is friendly, professional, affordable, and flexible. There are a lot of songs that he knows, and we received many compliments about his performance. I highly recommend having him for any event where you’d like a singer.

Surprise Birthday party

Absolutely amazing! Extremely professional hard worker. I booked Kenan for my husband's surprise birthday party for a little entertainment. Everyone was amazed with his talent. I had comments all night about how good he was. He was scheduled for a few hours and sang the whole time. I definitely recommend him for any event!!!!

Extremely talented singer

We looked for a local musician who can play at Shopify Meetup STL and we found Kenan last minute. After watching a couple of his youtube videos we decided to take a chance. He showed up on the agreed time and performed so well.

His choice of songs perfectly fit the atmosphere we were trying to create and he actually sang longer than agreed time.

He did not take a break during the event and his continuous singing kept the event going, if he had taken a break, some people may have left earlier.

Kenan is extremely kind and has a great voice, everybody loved listening to him. We definitely would like to have him again.

Price range: $150-500

What to expect

With an often finger-picked acoustic guitar or piano in hand, I primarily sing covers of acoustic and stripped-down versions of pop songs from artists like Ed Sheeran and James Arthur. I also branch out into older mellow pop songs from artists like Elton John and The Beatles.

About

I am primarily self-taught in piano after playing for nearly a decade and completely self-taught in guitar after playing for around 5 years. Singing dominates the scope of my performance, with 5 years of comprehensive vocal training and a decade's worth of practicing. With my talent, I have recorded an EP with a producer that is currently being sent off to labels and more people involved in the music industry in Los Angeles, Miami, and St. Louis. I also advanced far enough into the America's Got Talent audition process to the point where I got the opportunity to audition in front of the show's executive producer, Jason Raff.

Additional booking notes

I bring all sound equipment, including a wireless microphone system with a high quality PA speaker. I also have an acoustic-electric guitar (acoustic sound but can plug into an amp to amplify the sound) and a portable yet very high quality keyboard/piano.
