Kuren

Introducing KUREN; the 19 y/o indigenous producer hailing from the tiny town of Hillston in Central West NSW (population 1500). Real name Curtis Kennedy, Kuren’s self-taught skills were cultivated by late night YouTube tutorials. Innumerable hours which saw his early works deliver emotive and engaging electronica that captured the trials of his teenage years spent supporting his family and chasing a dream that seemed so far removed from the red desert sands of his surrounds.

Not content with the label of 'bedroom producer', Curtis has honed his craft and reinvented himself as a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter all the while developing a powerful live show that he took across the country with SLUMBERJACK on their recent national tour. His debut performance at Splendour In The Grass 2017 was a glimpse of an incredible future; a strong vocal performance paired with vibrant percussive switch ups that seamlessly amplify his well-known emotive roots.

Kuren's perennial evolution as an artist and storyteller has recently been cemented by his signing with ONETWO, the label owned by his long-time idol and friend, Illy, making him the latest member of the Unified family. Never content with sitting idle, Kuren's latest single Mastercraft is was released in August as he takes his live show on the road once more with 23 dates on Illy's mammoth national tour this August to October.
