About Sean
Scotland born but Nashville based singer-songwriter Sean C Kennedy is known for his revealing yet purposeful lyrics and genre-fluid musical style. Influenced by the likes of Prince, Bonnie Raitt, Coldplay, John Mayer, Amos Lee and others, Kennedy has explored different angles, from folk and country to poprock, throughout the years. His latest EP ‘Let Life Love You’ has a strong electronic pop feel to it, but never loses its emphasis on a meaningful message.
Sean C Kennedy grew up in Scotland, within a musical family. Although music was ever present, Sean pursued a professional soccer career and successfully so. It was when he suffered a career-ending knee injury for which he needed a stam cell bone transplant, that music found Sean, and Sean found his voice and talent for songwriting. His musical career lifted off in a local band and soon took flight.
Travels to London and Nashville followed, where he worked with established artists and producers, including Fred Mollin (Jimmy Webb) Andy Taylor (Duran Duran) and with Nik Kershaw to create his debut album ‘77’. This led to Sean winning the Scottish Alternative Music Award in 2015.
In the following years he pursued music in places around Europe and the USA, eventually moving his home base to Nashville, Tennessee in 2018. Since then he’s made his Bluebird debut, played shows at many of Nashville’s famous venues and started working with established writers and producers in the area. All that work led up to 2020: his ‘break out’ year.
On June 5th 2020, Sean releasesd his EP ‘Let Life Love You’, his first release since moving to Nashville. The album is comprised of eight tracks - six of which have already racked up two million plays, having made it onto several Apple playlists including Apple Today, New Music Daily, Mellow Days, Acoustic Chill & more.
On this EP, Sean shares his personal experiences of understanding life, seeing the beauty in everything and the power of vulnerability. Style wise it moves away from his debut album, flowing towards a more electronic sound with a strong contemporary pop feel. It’s uplifting, positive and still full of depth, as people have come to know Sean’s music. His main goal? Inspiring others to let life love them.
As for the rest of 2020, Sean will be releasing more music in the second half of the year. He’ll once again play around with different genres; the Nashville DNA will definitely be a recognized as an influence. Stay tuned!

LOOKING FOR LOVE
The harder you try to make something work, or force it, more times than not it doesn’t work out. Looking for love is about losing the expectation of a person or a thing that you think you need when in fact there is nothing you need. Love happens for you and not to you, just the way life happens for you and not to you. Let it all flow...

DRIVE BY KISSER
Drive By Kisser is about my love for Tokyo, it’s culture and their love for life. It’s a long distant love relationship with myself & Tokyo but reflecting on anyone that travels any distance for love. You do that when you believe in a love worth investing in. The title inspired by my friend's dog Cash. PINK/RED/GREY was in my mind while I wrote this song.

WILD FOREVER
Sometimes you just want to leave the busy city and escape to the desert. Leaving LA for Joshua Tree and laying under the moon & stars with your favourite person. The freedom of driving out the city with windows down. ORANGE & FIRE SUNSET are the colours I felt in my mind while I wrote this song.

HASTY BOY
Hasty Boy is a season of change from summer to fall. Learning who I am, knowing that I can’t please everyone and that’s ok. Learning to let go just like the seasons do. Open to change and trusting the process in love, friendship and in life. RICH BLUE/GOLD/YELLOW was in my mind during this process
