OKAY KENEDI
we’re all okay
For most of my life I have not been set up well for self-discovery, now I’m in my 20’s trying to catch up on everything I missed out on as a teenager. The downside to finding yourself as an adult is that you don’t get to approach life innocently. You’ve been left, you’ve been the bad guy, you now realize you grew up under a belief system you might not agree with anymore. You know loneliness.
Okay Kenedi is a face for the late bloomers, the last-picks and anyone a little late to growing up. I write music that finds people who might think who they are isn’t okay to remind them - we’re all okay.

“I can tell you that she’s not Brandi Carlile, but she can be that brutally honest. She’s not Sheryl Crow but she can break and heal your heart in the same places. She’s NOT some ‘pop queen’ in the making but that crown is definitely just her size. The only way I can describe exactly who she is, is to play her record for you”
- Clint Ingersoll, Songwriter, Producer“In my lifetime and for decades thereafter young women on every continent will sing the songs she's writing today.”
- Michael Shane Wright, Executive Producer / Founder of Ivy Manor Music Group“She is a prolific and gifted songwriter and amazing vocalist/performer.”
-Dan Hannon, Producer“Okay Kenedi is more than just okay”
— Emma Tanner, Managing Editor, The Flor-Ala“one of the kindest, most talented people I’ve ever met.”
- Dylan Johnson, For the Record Music Hall"Okay has perfected the art of telling the truth - and it's not the modern notion of "her" truth. She speaks "the truth" - often times with little concern for the consequence. She will not let us pretend the emporer is clothed."
- Michael Shane Wright, Executive Producer / Founder of Ivy Manor Music GroupPERFORMANCE

BIO
Okay Kenedi had been newly surfing the Atlanta music scene when she met producer, Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra, Paris Jackson, Julien Baker), in late 2021. The two joined forces, accompanied by a handful of team members, and spent 2022 quietly constructing the world’s introduction to Okay Kenedi’s music, artistry, and live performance. Recorded at Ivy Manor in the legendary city of Muscle Shoals, OK’s unreleased debut album marries lyrical artistry to alternative pop production. She sums up her mission and message best by writing and releasing music for people who might think who they are is not okay to remind them that “we’re all okay.”
