Kenny Potter, the 16 year-old singer-songwriter and producer based in Pittsburgh, PA, has recalled a fascination with music since he was six years old. It all began when six-year-old Potter first learned eight chords on his brand new electric guitar he received for Christmas. Ever since he learned those eight chords his passion for music began. 

He found that expressing his thoughts and feelings through song is the best way he could. The realization that music is not something to be kept for yourself but shared with others is a beaming inspiration for him. With his music, he hopes to encourage others to shamelessly express themselves with everyone around them, just as he does. His ear-grabbing melody and lyrical hooks are influenced by many of his favorite artists today including Lauv, The 1975, and Christian French.

Potter’s latest creation was released on May 20th, “SMTH LIKE THIS,” the song recreates the euphoric feeling of falling in love with someone. He wrote this song about someone who had recently come into his life. Much like many people his age and other songwriters out in the world it's hard to just express those feelings as words by themselves, so he put all the words he needed into this song. 

There is so much more amazing music to come for Kenny Potter so look out on his socials to keep up!
