Noah Kenton

      

Seventeen year old, Noah Kenton is a talented young musician, truly something special. Inspired by his deep love for electronic music including artists like Sirensceol, Sonny Moore, and Clams Casino, Noah's distinct sound blends elements of electronic into the acoustic genre. 

Along with the combination between the styles of music, the lyrics on Kenton's debut EP are what evoke the personal struggles the talented musician has faced. Focusing on themes like loss and longing; you will find yourself enjoying the honest emotion that is brought to you by his unique musical and lyrical styles. Despite these personal struggles, the songs aspire closure and freedom in a way that is both organic and refreshing. 

Noah states, "From a different angle, this EP for me is a lot more about resolving problems from my past more than anything else. From aspects like coming to grips with my distaste for the religion I was brought up to just missing people and failed friendships. This project brought me a lot of closure on some issues that I had been working through during the recording process and I feel so free now that it's all finished."

Noah Kenton’s new single “Oh No” is an emotionally-driven song that pulls you in with piano notes and heart-felt guitar strums. Give the song a couple of listens and you will love the song the more. It’s hard to believe “Oh No” was created by a seventeen year old; I can’t wait to hear what else Noah releases.
