Kentö

From his first public performance crooning in French at the age of 6, to recording his first demo tracks on a series of old tape recorder decks — Kentö has always found innovative ways to merge sounds from early musical influences — like Elvis Presley, Kate Bush, The Beach Boys, Sting, & Tears for Fears — with that of his multi-cultural upbringing (he spent the majority of his youth in Japan and Brazil). After his debut EP Complicated with pop artist/producer Frankmusik, “Saint-Tropez,” is the latest single from this multi-lingual NYC-based artist. He is currently in the studio working on his first full-length album, Strangers.

Kentö’s past releases have garnered attention from popular outlets such as iHeartRadio, American Songwriter, MTV, Them, Paper Magazine, KCRW, BBC Music, Apple Music 1, Instinct Magazine, LA Weekly, and Vevo.
