It's rare that we see an artist create their own lane in a given genre because of the oversaturation of sounds in the music industry today. Kenya Vaun, however, is one of the few artists that have carved out her own space with the sound she has created. With a style obviously reminiscent of Lauryn Hill, especially with songs like “Summer” and “Yesterday” off her brand new EP ‘The Honeymoon Phase’, the Philly native is bringing a new meaning to modern Neo-Soul tracks. Working with legends like Musiq Soulchild and Carvin Haggins on this EP, it's no wonder she caught the attention of Mary J Blige’s label 300 Entertainment a few years back (another one of her many inspirations). After attending her EP release party last week (3/21), the potential for Kenya to be an entertainer who brings feel good music back to the forefront has never been more evident. For a taste of what we witnessed, check out the video of her performance at TheBasement Series, a performance platform founded by Music Executive/SVP of A&R Ericka J. Coulter. TheBasement hosts semi-monthly events in LA to reinstate the power of up-and-coming talent through curated performances. and has featured artists such as Journey Montana and Reggie Becton, both of which we have spoken with before.
We spoke to Kenya about the meaning behind her debut EP ‘The Honeymoon Phase’, getting signed to 300 Entertainment, working with legendary producer Carvin Haggins, and much more.
