Kennedy (PH)
A prolific Manila-based alternative boyband, Kennedy formed during their senior year of high school, and are best known for their genre-fluid sound, and their unconventional, DIY approach to making music. Inspired by Brockhampton, Frank Ocean, and Tyler, the Creator, the eight-piece alternative rap group quickly formed a creative bond, recording and releasing their first two singles, GARLIC and VANILLA, in 2019. By the following year, they had formed RausHaus, a collective of bands together with Lucy Dee and Lagooon, and they are set to capture the ears and hearts of more listeners with their debut mixtape set to be released at the end of the year.
