Read the LA Kenzie Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I’m LA Kenzie, an artist out of South Carolina. Nobody really got famous out of my city and I like to stand out and music was the way to do that. It was also a way for me to get away from everything. My whole lif I’ve been around music and it calms me. At the moment I’m just floating on one single called “white girl”. It’s a wave but anybody can vibe to it really.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I really have been influenced more by fashion than anything or anybody in the game, probably due to the fact that when I was younger I wasn’t allowed to listen to rap. I’m inspired but Ian Conner and bloody Osiris and people of that nature, but as far as not I listen to a lot of punk and metal rock. I listen to a bit of D savage and carti but other than that no big names, just the Bros; Hoodie, helix, rip lil me, just keeping it in the family.
What´s new right now?
At the moment I’m sitting on way too many songs but I’ll be dropping a single called “late night trap star” soon, I don’t have a release date yet but keep your eyes and ears open. After that me and Hoodie are working on a mixtape called “Blang Fang Twins”.

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
The biggest mistake I made was not telling people about myself. I use to just put out music and let it sit there with no promotion and with no promotion you get no plays. People didn’t even know I made music. The best thing you can do is speak up

How do you personally discover new music?
I surf YouTube. If I have never heard of it, I click on it. Either that or my Guys send me music and if not that then it’s Instagram. I just come across new artists pages in click the link in their bios, nothing to it.

Once you discovered new music, do you tell others about the new music/artist you discovered? If yes, how exactly?
“It really depends on how gas the song is, if it’s completely fire I’ll drop it in a group chat or post it on snap.
