Kenny Holland

Kenny James Holland is a 20-year-old Mormon pop/rock recording artist and songwriter. His birthdate is 1 May 1995. His hometown is Phoenix, Arizona, but he grew up in Michigan, and later started working on writing and recording his music in Los Angeles. He is the only boy out of six children in his family.

He started playing the piano at the age of 8. While growing up in Michigan, he refined his skills by performing at local high school events. His debut album entitled Heart and Keys is available on iTunes, and he is known by his growing fan base consisting of all ages (Holland Nation) for the singles “So What,” “One Day at a Time,” and “Backseat” from that album. The debut album was followed by the release of an EP called Whatever it Takes.

This young artist has also performed in front of sold out crowds as the opening performer for such well-known artists as Aaron Carter, The Summer Set, and Ryan Beatty. Some of the artists who have influenced his love for music include John Mayer, Will Anderson, John Vesely, Chris Brown, and Taylor Swift. A section of his biography on his band Facebook page reads:

Holland has come a long way since his start growing up in Michigan and only performing at high school events. From playing sold-out shows, to recording a full-length record, to taking social networking by storm. It’s only a matter of time before Kenny and his songs are recognized world-wide.

On 17 July 2015, he announced on his Facebook page that he had decided to start a “duo music project” with his best friend Wes Stromberg. Together they are known as TheBalCOny. In a 24 June 2015 interview with teen celebrity magazine J-14, Wes and Kenny described how the collaboration evolved:

We just started a musical project, duo thing that came out of nowhere. We were going on a snowboard trip to Colorado.

At this point, we weren’t even that good of friends, and we became really good friends on that trip. And we’re both musicians, [so] we wanted to come back and write together. And we started writing music that we fell in love with, all on the balcony, which is why we’re called The BalCOny.

Kenny has a promising music career ahead of him and is looking forward to a great future as he continues to create great music that leaves his fans always wanting to come back for more. Because he has been blessed with so many great opportunities in his own life, he makes it a priority to give back to his community and to inspire others along his journey who have shown their love and support for him.

In an interview with Desert Ridge Lifestyles in February 2012 at the age of 16, Kenny was then described as being very polite, well grounded, having a great attitude, and not allowing fame to go to his head. There is no doubt that those who know him or know of him would certainly agree that he has not changed.
