Born in Ethiopia, raised in Virginia Beach, and now based in Los Angeles, Kenna, otherwise known as KNA is a true multi-hyphenate, an artist whose work lives at the intersection of music, art, technology, and social impact. A Grammy-nominated musician with critically acclaimed albums, he has long been recognized for pushing beyond traditional genre and format, creating work that is as intellectually engaging as it is emotionally resonant. Now, he’s entering a new chapter with a project that marks the beginning of his most ambitious musical journey to date. One that unfolds across music, film, literature, live experience, and technology. In 2025, he offered an early glimpse with the release of “I’m Coming Home,” a raw, unflinching song and film. The official album rollout begins in 2026 with “Architect,” the project’s opening track and thematic cornerstone, a demanding musical declaration—both confrontational and empowering—built around a stark, unvarnished truth: you are the force that builds, that destroys, and that recreates. Sonically this new project fuses dystopian futurism, genre-fluid global rhythms, alternative textures, and soulful undertones that move with a frenetic energy at times mixed with moments of pure stillness. With this new era, K, isn’t just releasing an album—he’s architecting a cultural moment.
