A prolific performer and producer, Kenna is a pop and alternative-laden singer/songwriter who broke out onto the mainstream music charts with his Chad Hugo-produced debut, New Sacred Cow.
Background
Kenna didn't decide to make music his career until college, when he realized that the more standard route of formal education wasn't the right one for him. Teaming up with high-school friend Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, Kenna set to work making demo tapes. One of these eventually made its way to Atlantic Records, and then to Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, who had recently started his own imprint on Geffen/Interscope. Durst was impressed by what he heard and gave Kenna the go-ahead to make his own album.
