Allie Kenny

Allie Kenny is a New Jersey–born singer and songwriter raised just outside New York City. She grew up playing piano in a musical household, writing songs quietly from a young age. 

As a teenager, she fell deep into the world of ’60s and ’70s records, beginning with David Bowie and the Beatles. From there, she gravitated toward the soft rock and Laurel Canyon artists of the era, before eventually discovering Big Star and the jangly, harmony-driven “power pop” groups that followed. 

While studying industrial design at school in North Carolina, Allie returned to songwriting during a period of isolation and taught herself how to record and produce her own music. Working from early home setups, she began building full arrangements on her own, learning by trial and error.

Her debut self-released single, Soft Crash, was the first song she shared publicly. Since then, she’s performed live, grown an online following, and worked with notable collaborators and producers while continuing to find her footing as a recording artist.

Her songs are melody-driven, built around vocal harmonies and lyrics pulled from real experiences—often introspective with moments of wit. In both sound and spirit, her music pays homage to the records and songwriters that first inspired her. She recently recorded her debut album, which is set to be released this fall.
