Dermot Kennedy

Life and death. Joy and pain. Love and loss. Dermot Kennedy has always been fascinated by extremes. On his debut EP, Doves & Ravens, the young Dubliner draws inspiration from all the moments of brightness and darkness this world has to offer, crafting music that's at once soaring and intimate, stripped-back and explosive.

Stuttery hip-hop and R&B-influenced percussion underpins his weathered vocals as he combines organic and electronic elements into an arresting, emotional blend that calls to mind the adventurous arrangements of Bon Iver, James Blake, and James Vincent McMorrow.

Kennedy's live shows are intense and powerful experiences, something he is again quick to credit to the influence of poetry, in particular the African-American writers Black Ice and Amir Sulaiman.
