Despite humble beginnings in Torrington, Connecticut, JONNYFENN has risen to become a well-respected musician who is making a significant impact on the scene.
Like any musician does, JONNYFENN faced numerous obstacles in his career, but remained determined to pursue his passion for music nonetheless. Drawing inspiration from a variety of tunes, from 1980s broadway musicals to his friend's all-over-the-place playlists, he's incorporated a variety of sounds into his music — like guitars, pianos, flutes, and saxophones — setting him apart from the majority of Hip-Hop artists.
However, his biggest inspiration has always been Kanye West's album, "College Dropout," and we can hear some of the influence through his current discography.

With a wide catalog of music already on Spotify, his upcoming albums, "U.G.L.Y." and "WOW," showcase his versatility as a producer and musician.

Reminiscent of Kanye West's influence on JONNYFENN's music, while also incorporating Travis Scott-inspired adlibs, the song's lyrics speak of JONNYFENN's journey to success, with a message of perseverance and self-belief. Overall, "Higher Than The Birds" is a great representation of JONNYFENN's talent and sets the bar high for his future projects.
