ABOUT KENNA
KENNA is a Grammy Award®-nominated musician, philanthropist, and Chief Vision Officer and lead creative of the New Myspace. He was raised in Virginia Beach, VA, where he became friends and career-long collaborators with Pharrell Williamsand Chad Hugo of The Neptunes/N.E.R.D. KENNA expressed an interest in music when he first heard U2's The Joshua Tree. That album inspired KENNA while studying singers like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, as well as groups like The Cure and Duran Duran. KENNA has worked and toured with Justin Timberlake,Nelly Furtado, Mark Ronson, No Doubt, N.E.R.D and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, Mike Shinoda, Lupe Fiasco, Santigold, and Ashlee Simpson. He continues to create his own sound that has yet to be categorized and filed under any mainstream genre. He is defined only by his natural constitution to never be what you expect. In addition to his musical pursuits, when KENNA learned about the global water crisis affecting his home village in Ethiopia, he decided to create the SUMMIT ON THE SUMMIT project. In 2010, KENNA and his colleagues climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to bring attention to the water crisis. KENNA developed a transmedia platform and 19,340-ft. website with a game engine for fans and followers to participate virtually with the climbers. This concept, rooted in social media, was the first of its kind. The project generated 3 billion impressions, over 1,700 pieces of traditional press, and helped bring clean drinking water to thousands of people in his home country.
