Declan Kennedy is a 23-year-old singer songwriter born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, currently based in Nashville, TN. He grew up playing piano and guitar, and began writing original songs at age 14. His songs and styles cover a multitude of genres, from political folk-punk anthems to ambient, intimate love songs. The constant of his music, though, is his honesty and passion. His self-produced albums "If I Only Had No Heart" and "Guilty as Anybody" are currently available on all streaming platforms.
