Lenny The Heart Up & Coming Artist

When did you first get into music? I remember watching 8 mile over ten years ago and then like suddenly my best friend brought a mic to my house which we plugged to the computer and started recording music. I fell in love with music.

What genre of music do you perform and why? I like to perform an alternative rock/pop style with an influence of some hip-hop. It’s basically everything I’ve ever liked to listen to in my own creation.

And why did you choose that style of music? This is the genre that I feel most passionate about expressing myself with. I feel really good about myself when making the music I make. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? Realizing that I wouldn’t want to pursue any other type of work or dream job and that music is my dream! How has your music evolved since you first began performing/songwriting? The evolution is 360. It was all swag rap and now I call myself a musician being able to sing and play instruments. There’s a real passion for it. I’m sure you have shared the stage with a lot of talented artists/celebrities along the way. Would you share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us?
