    What Does Losing Your Father at 12 Teach You About Building? | David Kenny

    David Kenny is the audio engineer of the largest podcasts in Africa. He is also the producer of three of my albums. It doesn't stop there—he is the friend I call when I need someone who will tell me the truth, and is actually one of the main reasons this podcast exists at all. We started as client and producer. We became brothers. In this first episode of Breakfast & Launch, we sit down properly for the first time on camera — and what comes out of it is something I didn't fully expect. David opens up about losing his father at 12, stepping into a role no teenager should have to carry, and how he built something real out of what could have broken him. We also get into the craft — what it means to serve an artist's vision, how to know when something is great even when the client doesn't see it yet, and what happens when you trust the process long enough. If you have ever felt like life handed you a disadvantage and you are trying to build anyway — this one is for you.
