Susanna Kennedy is a multi-instrumentalist who grew up singing in church choirs, playing classical violin, and belting out musical numbers with her older sister while washing the dishes. Her indie/folk musical stylings focus on emotionally evocative melodies and lyrics. In her mind, music exists as a conduit for emotions that words alone cannot express. Susanna released her debut single “Stay” on May 16th which will be followed by an EP that is set to be released by the end of the year.
