Kennedi is a singer/songwriter from Dallas, Texas who has found a forever home in Performance Studies. She has spent the last four years exploring the ways that Performance Studies relates to her methods of creating and understanding the world and art. During her time at NYU, she has had the opportunity to use New York as a muse, have a sweetly-bitter affair abroad in Paris, France, and find beauty in the home she left behind in Texas. 

She is currently working on her debut EP, which will tentatively be released within the next year. Following her time at NYU, she plans on continuing her growth as an artist and student of the world.

Title of Capstone Project

Unedited: Dead Ended Letters

Description of Capstone Project

"Unedited: Dead Ended Letters'' is a collection of incomplete and unshared songs, poems and letters that I have written and composed over the span of my four years at NYU. When curating this collection, I was fascinated by the idea of absence and (in)voluntary omission, which manifest in different ways in each piece and each represent or describe experiences I have lived through, either first or second- handedly. With the uncertainty of the times we currently face and the turbulence that is usually coupled with coming into your own as an adult, this project has acted as a coping mechanism tied to my past and a stepping stone for the projects to follow. It offers a space to interact with the questions that go unanswered, lines that are blurred, thoughts that exist incompleted, and the things that sometimes are and aren’t as they appear to be. This collection is meant to be listened to with an open heart and loving mind.
