He finds joy and pride in the process of adapting his playing to the needs of different settings, and with each venture, he takes a new piece of knowledge and creativity back to nourish his own music: a singer-songwriter project with echoes of jazz, folk, r&b, rock, and metal. Lenni is a multifaceted artist who weaves the worlds of indie shoegaze and folk into a magical thread that tethers to the audience in the ways only synchronicities can. Their art is infused with spiritual epiphanies as a result of hardships in life as well as the reminder that no one is alone in their experience. They work with children on a daily basis and their music caters to the inner child of every being that needs to be cradled and hummed a lullaby. They are a self taught musician, creating on and off since the age of 5 years old. Their sound incorporates the whimsy of an I Spy book and the practicality of their Virgo nature and is an extension of their soul. They are so excited to attune to the audience at The Monarch and leave everyone with a residual magic that can hopefully impact the longevity of joy and wonder people feel.
