Devin Kennedy –CADEN HUSTON Devin Kennedy is a self-confessed hopeless romantic. His music “absolutely reflects” that. “If you were to dig through my music, you would see that thread.
I’m a hopeless romantic, yes. Or maybe just romantic across the board. I love writing love songs.
I think love is the most beautiful thing and if I’m in love, I’m always down to write about it,” he told the Inquirer in a recent virtual interview arranged by Secret Signals. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that helped endear the rising music artist to his Southeast Asian audience. The region has always had a soft spot for love songs with simple, heartfelt melodies.
With the sense of romance, whimsy and cozy his music provides, Devin now finds himself amassing big streaming numbers in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. “I was surprised ..
. Southeast Asia has raised its hand for me, year after year, project after project. There’s so much support and love coming from everywhere out there and I feel that.
It’s amazing,” the American singer-songwriter said. “I think that’s especially cool as an independent artist,” he said. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Devin is also a producer and multi-instrumentalist who weaves his life experiences in a mesh of pop, R&B and alternative genres.
On Spotify, he has 1.87 million monthly listeners. His biggest hits, “Forget About You” and “Something ‘Bout that Feeling,” have been streamed 75 .
