Detta Kenzie Biography
Detta Kenzie is a Devon based folk singer creating original songs alongside reworking ancient Celtic music. With both Irish and Scottish heritage, Detta is committed to bringing old tunes back to life while simultaneously maintaining their traditional roots.
In her original work, a deep connection to the natural world is ever present. Inspired by placenames, specific references to England’s beautiful South West including Haytor, Whistman's Wood, Dartmoor, the Dart Valley, Shaldon and Teignmouth bring a local strength to Detta’s creations. Themes of womanhood, grief, rebellion and rage can be found in her deeply narrative based songs.
Having worked as a Secondary English teacher before transitioning into music, Detta’s love of language shines through in her storytelling. Her words capture the diversity of the landscape and it’s ability to both mould and reflect human experience.
