Kennyon Brown

Already making his mark on the worldwide R&B scene in the past few years, Kennyon Brown no doubt is destined for massive things in no time. Born in Auckland, New Zealand with his family of Samoan descent - Brown spent the teenage years of his life amongst Southern Californian cities Long Beach and Anaheim re-locating to Sydney as a young adult. Making his mark on the local R&B scene with the track titled “Cocaine” featuring long-time friend William Singe, Kennyon Brown appeared on various singles with frequent collaborator(s) Mistah Mez and Donell Lewis throughout early 2015 gaining a bigger fanbase by the week.

This led to Brown’s break through single “All On Me” featuring Fortafy being released in September, 2015 which was added to high rotation on The Edge 96.1 (Australia) and MaiFm (NZ) and hit 1 million views on the music video in a matter of months. Due to the success of this single, the two paired up to release “Your Body” with momentous success and the audio on YouTube is well over 7 million streams to date. Kennyon Brown has also collaborated on the Song "All About You" with DJ Willi which also features Los Angeles rapper "The Game".

If touring AU & NZ performing over 25+ shows in 2016 and dropping countless bangers throughout the year wasn’t enough, Kennyon Brown embarked on his debut European tour headlining over 10+ shows with frequent collaborator Donell Lewis and together they released “Legooo” in April 2017. ‘Legooo’ was an enormous success for the independent pair topping the Heatseeker album charts in NZ for 2 weeks straight and spawned the single “Whine 4 Me” which topped the urban and airplay charts in Germany. Soaring off this success Kennyon Brown along with Donell Lewis and good friend DJ Noiz embarked on a run of headline tours throughout Australia and New Zealand over the course of 2017 and dropped their reggae inspired R&B numbers “Morning Ride” and “She Mad She Angry”, raking up over 5 million views in under a year between both, which now have a combination of 30 million streams for both songs.

Pushing boundaries in R&B and Reggae, Kennyon Brown made his debut USA and Hawaii tour in March 2018 alongside fellow collaborators Donell Lewis and DJ Noiz selling out shows in San Jose, Los Angeles, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas – and were invited to perform on selected shows with Missouri Reggae / R&B star Spawnbreezie. In late 2018, Brown returned back to Australia and hit the road, completing his most successful year to date headlining over 40 dates across Australia and New Zealand. His sophomore headline USA tour embarked for the month of March 2019 and was met with strong success headlining shows in California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada Oregon and Washington State to a handful of sold out audiences in each state. Brown has since returned home and announced his inclusion in the inaugural "Future Nesian Festival".

Outside of this, Brown has not only released an array of collaborations including the smash hit "Tati" with DJ Noiz and Donell Lewis but also his flips on Luther Vandross's "Never Too Much" re-titled Never Get Enough and Benee's "Glitter". Brown recently went on to release his highly antipcated debut solo EP titled "Out The Blue" in March 2020, with 2 sold out headline launch parties in Sydney Australia on "Glass Island" cruise over Sydney Harbour. Following the COVID pandemic and lack of touring in 2020, Kennyon has since linked up with EDM household name Joel Fletcher and released 2 collaborational effort(s) titled "Vibe" and "Changes", which combined have amassed an impressive 8 million streams in under a year which has seen a rise in interest in Brown in a whole new market.

Outside of the EP release and the 2 EDM singles, he had a super active year releasing 2 solo singles "Better Life" feat. Lazy J & SVNO and "Give You Luh" feat. Ceefoe and appeared on the DJ Noiz hit titled "Amelia" alongside Donell Lewis and Victor J Sefo. This year has brought even more life to Brown's music career, releasing his first solo effort in 2021 titled "Beretta" in June 2021 - accompanied by visuals shot by Kreezy Visions in Sydney, Australia - Beretta was featured heavily on Spotify, Apple and VEVO playlists and subsequently gained over 250,000 streams in it's first week. With more to come this year, you can't help to see that 2021 is only the beginning for Kennyon Brown!
