Azkaban: The New EP of KENN

The Prisoner of Azkaban I Once Was

At some point in life, we all feel like Sirius Black.
We get thrown into a prison we shouldn’t be in, they try to dim our light to give space to someone else, they make us feel guilty for things we didn’t do.

I lived like that for a long time. I had opportunities that slipped through my fingers, or worse, felt stolen from me. That’s why I use the term “Prisoner of Azkaban.” I’m a Harry Potter fan, I’ve read all the books, and that story helped me imagine and explain what I was going through day by day. In this episode, I focus on the third book, where Sirius was locked in Azkaban for an unfair punishment that was consuming him.

During that time, I worked the “right” way, under the rules that were supposedly the best path to grow — until I felt trapped. That forced adaptation led me to lose my essence. The Dementors drained my energy constantly: every time I tried to escape, a new one showed up. And even when I fought, more came. My Patronus wasn’t working, or maybe I just didn’t have the strength left to light it up.

This winter of 2025 in Montevideo felt exactly like that: stuck in a dim, lifeless place, with the same routine, but empty inside. I had my house, the usual stuff, but nothing filled me. My soul wasn’t in this world. The Dementors ripped away my faith, my dreams, the very essence that made me who I am. It wasn’t just the music industry — it was also certain relationships and an environment that didn’t align with what I truly wanted. I tried to adapt, but it just didn’t work.

There was even a moment when I thought about leaving Uruguay altogether, because I no longer felt like I belonged. No one is a prophet in their own land.

I watched documentaries, tried to adapt methods from “successful people,” looked for references… but what I was “selling” didn’t fulfill me. I tried to imitate rhythms or fake behaviors, but none of that was the answer.

Until I realized the obvious: essence is everything.

You can be a painter, an engineer, a celebrity, or live isolated in the countryside… and it’s fine. Only you know what truly makes you happy. The real problem is that we live in a materialistic world, obsessed with power, appearances, and social validation. It’s almost impossible not to fall into constant comparison: others already have material things — you don’t; some already built their family — you haven’t yet. And with all that pressure, you lose yourself. That was my breaking point.

And then Sirius Black’s words hit me:

That sentence saved me. Because I understood that what really keeps me alive is my essence.

My family became my refuge. They reminded me of who I was, why I was here, what I wanted to be. They gave me the freedom to chase my dreams from day one, to believe I could achieve anything I put my mind to. Just like that scene where Harry faces Voldemort: he looks alone, but deep down he remembers his family, his purpose, his essence — and that’s where he finds the strength to light his Patronus.

That prison also taught me something: many of those who talk about “light” and “unity” are actually Death Eaters in disguise, only looking out for themselves. And the Dementors will always be lurking, waiting for the weakest moment to appear.

My purpose is to go all the way with this. When people say there’s no Plan B, it’s because there truly isn’t. I’ve tried everything, I keep learning every day, and I’ve realized life itself puts things in their place. Maybe I can’t explain it as a writer, but I can through music. Music is my way of channeling who I am — that’s why I design my covers, release my tracks on FCKNG SOUND, and write this blog: so you can understand what’s behind Dementors and the whole EP.

Dementors

“Dementors” was born out of a dark time. I wasn’t given the chance to be part of a prod — maybe because I wasn’t “one of them,” or whatever the reason was… it doesn’t matter anymore. What does matter is that it pushed me to create a powerful bassline, to evolve my sound, to connect with that third dimension that’s so hard to reach.

So fuck them. Life always ends up bringing better things.

Today, my followers connect with me in a different way — with my sound, with a more mature version of myself. And that’s where true strength is built. A SJJ (Next EP – spoiler alert).

In the end, Harry Potter is the protagonist of his own story.

And from your perspective, you are Harry.

If I could recommend something to avoid falling into your own Azkaban, it would be this: follow your inner voice, do what really makes you happy, and surround yourself with people who help you grow. Don’t be afraid to close the door on those who only want something from you. Books like The Secret, The Alchemist, and of course Harry Potter all taught me the same lesson: when your essence is at 100%, everything is possible.

Follow your heart. As I always say in my tracks: sometimes we hold the cure, but the Dementors are stronger and can catch us off guard, without our wand, leaving us trapped and alone in Azkaban.

That’s why we must always stay alert. Because Death Eaters can appear at any moment.

Darkness Leviosa – finding light in the dark

If Dementors was born out of pain and struggle, Darkness Leviosa was born out of the magic of finding light in the dark.

From the very first second, it’s a journey of rising, of floating above negativity. That’s why I always say — and even have tattooed — Full Wingardium. To always rise, always levitate, always escape the bad.

That track began one night on the terrace with my friend Juancho, who lived with me back then and shared some of the most meaningful moments of my career. I was producing nonstop, and one night I went upstairs with my guitar for a quick break. Out of nowhere, the melody appeared. The rest was pure magic: white doves flying across the dark night, a shooting star cutting the sky, deep conversations that tied soul and music together. Juancho tattooed a feather; I tattooed the mythical phrase Full Wingardium.

Everything clicked, as if that night itself was a spell teaching us to rise above the darkness. I could never let that track go. It’s a reminder that even if the Dementors come back, there is always light, always a way to rise, to fly, to transform darkness into art.

Patronus

Patronus was the last track I made. It came fast, flowing naturally, because I already felt free and wanted to give closure to this story.
