Kenny Potter

Kenny Potter is a 15-year-old singer-songwriter and producer based in Pittsburgh, PA. Despite of his young age, he has gained great numbers on TikTok and Spotify. It all began when six-year-old Potter first learned eight chords on his brand new electric guitar he received for Christmas. Ever since he learned those eight chords his passion for music began. 

He found that expressing his thoughts and feelings through song is the best way he could. The realization that music is not something to be kept for yourself but shared with others is a beaming inspiration for him. With his music, he hopes to encourage others to shamelessly express themselves with everyone around them, just as he does. His ear-grabbing melody and lyrical hooks are influenced by many of his favorite artists today including Lauv, The 1975, and Christian French.

In March 2022 Kenny released “those days”: he wrote this song about the feeling of being a little kid, missing the time where he didn’t have to deal with many responsibilities. With the lyrics he questions where all the times went when we were able to fully be ourselves with no care in the world, a feeling that many relate to.

His latest release is "SMTH LIKE THIS" that came out on May 20th. The lalent of this very young musician is truly impressive, his new song sounds fresh and catchy, a real pleasure to listen to! Beautiful voice and well produced music melt in a product that sounds perfect also for the radio. I can't wait to hear more from him in the future, and I can't help but wish him the best for his music career that has started in such a bright way!

"SMTH LIKE THIS" is a song that recreates the euphoric feeling of falling in love with someone. Kenny wrote this song about someone who had recently come into his life. Much like many people his age and other songwriters out in the world it's hard to just express those feelings as words by themselves, so he put all the words he needed into this song.

He says: "SMTH LIKE THIS is the result of me trying to find the most fun way of explaining the feeling of falling in love. All of the production and writing has this colorful perspective that gives the track life, just like that in love feeling".

"SMTH LIKE THIS" I think I'm feeling something in my chest When you're just walking cross the room You can see that I'm always trying my best To not be like the other dudes Oh I've been falling in love With your little details You are the only smoke

That I'd inhale Every time I'm feeling right I know it's easier with you 'Cause I have never felt Something like this You can't be another girl That I missed I hope that we can talk about The days we were kids And I don't know much but I have never felt it like this Something like this [...]

The North Café Series: the storytelling episodes Among all the musical projects that I've watched growing up from scratch, The North Café Project is definitely my favourite. Passion, storytelling, art, instrumental music, love... this ambitious musical project has them all, and even more. Conceived of and created across continents in the aftermath of a global pandemic, it is the brainchild of instrumentalist, John Silvers (USA/UK), who has collaborated with co-founder and musician, Elfin Bow (UK), sound designer and producer, Woody Woodward (UK), visual artist, Gus Lopez (USA) and mastering engineer, Derek Smyth (AUS) to create a unique and intimate offering of story and music. At a time of division and isolation, this global effort to unite and uplift, is a double album release comprising both an episodic story in four parts, with instrumental musical excerpts, and an accompanying album of the full compositions by John Silvers (ukulele) and Elfin Bow (piano).  Creating someth

Vintz Desert Vintz Desert is an indie folk singer-songwriter located in Maryland. While serving in the Marine Corps, Vintz fine-tuned his craft and discovered his voice and passion for telling stories and sharing emotions through song. He released his debut EP "Through the smoke; a liar" when he was still in the middle of his military contract and didn't know anything about music industry. The EP features his top streaming song "Love in Boston". Then he relocated to the east coast where he opened up for folk rock band Oliver Hazard. He can be described as "beautifully melancholic" and focuses on direct relatable stories. His soft-spoken and raspy voice transfers his pain and experiences from him to his audience, and enters into a symbiotic relationship with them.  He just released his latest EP "The Blue Journal" on May 20th, an introspective and soft jouney through his feelings. His music has been mind-blowing for me since the very first

Thompson Newkirk Thompson Newkirk is New York City's southern pop-rock artist. Thompson's music is guitar forward, upbeat, and lyric based. He tells stories about love lost, getting kicked out of Canada, run ins with the law, and not letting the harsh realities of life win over the soul. His main influences stem from groups like Jason Isbell, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dire Straits, and Phish. Almost every one of Thompson's songs start in one place and through twists, rhythm changes and breaks, end somewhere down the road. His high energy and audience participation style makes for a show that you don't want to miss.  Thompson's songwriting journey started when he was in High School - he used to write about tumultuos emotions while now he writes about stories that I have experienced throughout his life. All of his songs are about something specific and tell a specific story, he doesn't really have any party songs or songs that are just for fun. He loves catchy riff

Mariano Mallia Singer/songwriter Mariano Mallia is a familiar face for those who have followed my blog for awhile. I talked about his inspiring and challenging story when he released his debut single "Don't Change" , after a vocal injury that stopped him from making music for years (you can read here ).  Mariano Mallia, who spent childhood summers visiting family members in Italy, says that it was in Italy that his passion for music was first born.  From those times, Mallia developed a deep appreciation for music, and ultimately decided to devote his life to music. However, the young singer’s pursuit was put to a halt in December of 2018 when he suddenly lost his voice. We talked further about his journey and the challenges he had to face when I interviewed him on YouTube (see here ). Despite the difficulties, Mariano refused to give up on his dream of pursuing music. Since the beginning of 2023, he has consistently released one single each month, putting hard work, musi
