WHAT IT IS: Kenneth La’ron, professionally known as KennyHoopla, grew up absorbing a diverse spread of music and art. The singer/songwriter cites The Drums, Funeral Suits, Common and Teen Suicide as some of his greatest influences. Soaked in both the warmth and the darkness of life and love, his catalog is filled with intimate, thoughtful and nostalgic new wave sounds. With momentum on his side, KennyHoopla stepped into 2020 with his cathartic new album, how will i rest in peace if I’m buried by a highway?//, solidifying his mark in the alternative scene.
