About Me
King Kenney is a multi-hyphenate writer whose career spans cultural criticism, music journalism, and copywriting for aspiring tech unicorns. His memoirist work, Space Bar Continuum, and his recent collection of reality-blurring existential fiction, The Harder I Faux, are refreshing contributions to contemporary literature and the struggles of creatives writing to live.
My Jazz Story
I love jazz because it's an ongoing conversation with the listener. It’s the soundscape of our lives—the music we study, meditate, dance, and work to. This conversation endures
fluently as a unifying language because, at its core, jazz grants superlatively skilled musicians the freedom and individuality to continually reinvent the artform’s origins, even
over 100 years after its humble beginnings.
