"Raised On Kenny" New Single 09/25
It was 10:30PM...
Trunk Bay on St. John USVI
and we finished...
my favorite and most proud
piece of songwriting was complete.
TWO MONTHS...
of letting the songwriting
process happen in a way,
I like to call "spiritual"
This isn't a song...
it's a memoir...
a lyrical photo album...
You see, Kenny Chesney
was practically on repeat in our
house growing up...
The words, the values, the stories
all aligned with how we
lived our lives.
So many of Kenny's songs
directly reflect a
chapter in my life...
and I know i'm not alone with that...
loosing and finding love...
a state championship...
both victory and failure...
beach days with the family,
unforgettable travels and more.
I had to verbalize the profound
impact Kenny Chesney made on
me and my family.
vocal tracking session for
"Raised On Kenny"
Olivia and I slowly pieced
this song together while
living on St John for the
2020 winter months...
the only deliberate aspect of
this song was to tell this story
by using just Kenny Chesney
song titles and references...
It made it interesting,
and as things came together,
the song perfectly detailed
our existence.
By far, this was the most
surreal experience
I've had writing music yet.
"now im
by the sea
you and me sweetheart...
livin out
be as you are..."
(lyrics in the new single,
Raised On Kenny)
Although it took over 60 days
to complete the writing,
It felt effortless...
Never wanting to force it,
we let it flow through the weeks,
allowing inspiration to hit...
on the beach... at 2am...
climbing a coconut tree...
driving the jeep...
point is...
this song is a true and
transparent diary of
who, what and where
I come from.
I couldn't be more thrilled
to get this song out to the
world and for you
guys to hear it.
So much love to you all
for the continued support
over the years...
I think you guys will
LOVE this new one.
