Kenton
The son of Taiwanese immigrants, KENTON grew up in sunny Irvine, California, a place where he struggled to find his footing as an Asian American. In some of his earliest memories, The now Los Angeles-based artist watched his father teach music in their home, eventually cultivating a fervency for songcraft. As he grew out of his childhood home and became a full-fledged adult, his parents moved back to Taiwan, leaving the actor and singer-songwriter in the States to grapple with his queer identity and how it juxtaposed his traditional upbringing.

Sweetmouth, KENTON’s debut original album, is his way of “processing the shame, guilt, grief and anger I've harbored over the years, of honoring the heritage of my ancestors, and of learning the art of forgiveness so that I, as an adult, can choose love.”
