Dermot Kennedy Biography
Dermot Kennedy is an Irish singer-songwriter known for blending folk-inspired storytelling with powerful, emotionally charged vocals and modern production. Hailing from Rathcoole, County Dublin, Kennedy first gained widespread attention with his 2016 single "After Rain," which showcased his signature mix of heartfelt lyricism and raw, soulful delivery. Trained in classical music and influenced by artists ranging from Glen Hansard to Kanye West, he developed a unique sound that bridges acoustic roots and contemporary pop and hip-hop beats.
Kennedy’s 2019 debut album, Without Fear, was a commercial and critical success, reaching number one in Ireland and the UK and earning him a devoted international fanbase. The album featured hits like “Power Over Me” and “Outnumbered,” and helped solidify his reputation as one of the most compelling voices in modern singer-songwriter music. His follow-up album, Sonder, released in 2022, continued to explore themes of vulnerability, connection, and resilience, further showcasing his evolution as an artist.
In addition to his studio work, Kennedy is renowned for his powerful live performances, often characterized by stripped-back arrangements that highlight his emotional intensity and vocal prowess. He has performed at major festivals such as Glastonbury and Coachella, and sold out venues around the world.
