Kenzic promotes new single from debut album

-

Recording artiste Kenzic is gearing up for the release of his debut album, with the promotion of the lead single, Trust None.

“The song tackles opposition­al views to my own ascension in music and generally in life, navigating through misguided notions and unclean judgementa­l eyes,” the artiste explained. The track is a single off of his forthcomin­g

Confident album, which has eight tracks and features an appearance from reggae artiste Keznamdi. The album is slated for an August 3 release.

“It ( Trust None) is a dancehall track with a unique but familiar sound. It has flavours and a subject matter, it’s something that isn’t usual in the dancehall space. So I’m looking forward to it becoming an anthem along with the strong collective of songs I have on my

Confident album,” Kenzic said.

While his jump into the music industry may be in the early stages, Kenzic has already made his name as an accomplish­ed actor, starring in films such as Ghett’a Life, Home Again, Destiny and, most recently, Storm Saulter’s award-winning feature film Sprinter, where he made his Netflix debut.

Kenzic’s journey with music goes as far back as his childhood. He has been performing and singing music profession­ally in major competitio­ns since he was a child and was a part of a performanc­e group called Spiritual Warriors. He has made his mainstream transition into the music industry in the past three years.

“What I’d say is that I’m a rounded musician because I also play both the guitar and piano, which makes me in tune with the synchronic­ity of music. I’m also an actor and an overall school-trained performing artiste so I have a unique dynamism which brings something special to the space of music,” he said.
