Kean Kavanagh, Manchester

Kean Kavanagh biography

Co-founder, producer and A&R of Irish Label Soft Boy Records, and a story-teller with a strong imagination, Kean has set out his stall as both a singer-songwriter and world creator with the release of his acclaimed 2020 project ‘Dog Person’. Founded in 2015, Soft Boy Records morphed into a cultural behemoth that gripped the Irish music scene and never let go – alongside his co-founder Kojaque, Kean found himself sharing stages with names such as Slowthai and Lana Del Rey, as well as his consequential solo-slots opening for Maverick Sabre and Vampire Weekend, as well as starring in a Boiler Room documentary about the label and collective. In 2020, Kean appeared on the Everything is Recorded project FRIDAY FOREVER, (curated by Richard Russell of XL Recordings) alongside Aitch, Flohio, Maria Somerville, Ghostface Killah and others, and aligning himself with a tastemaker and hotly tipped selection of musical peers. Currently settled in London, Kean’s career is set to project far beyond his Irish roots.
