Dermot Kennedy – Self Titled | Video Review
In the past two years Dermot Kennedy’s career has taken off, the Dublin-based Folk singer first struck success with tracks such as “After Rain” and “Glory” – both of which appear on his self-titled debut album.
“After Rain” in particular was the catalyst for building Kennedy’s profile and came to the attention of Spotify. He told the Irish
“I had no management at the time and I went in to meet them [Spotify] and they said the song had been picked due to an algorithm. Then they did a bit of a
mini campaign on one of my songs, After Rain, and that was the point it really started turning. I stopped sending 100 emails a day to recordcompanies, because people were finally listening now.”
Since this point, Kennedy has been receiving significant attention, in 2018 he collaborated with legendary Rap-A-Lot producer Mike Dean on Mike Dean Presents: Dermot Kennedy. From here Kennedy found himself on the BBC’s Sound of 2019 longlist alongside Grace Carter; solidifying Kennedy’s position as one of the rising stars in British music.
