Discover how talented artists from around the world bring Brady Kent's lyrics to life.  

 Rory David and Stellar Luna 

Brush, Colorado, USA 

"Every set of Brady's lyrics gives me the chance to see a story from a completely different perspective.” 

Hi, I’m Rory. I write and compose songs in Brush, Colorado, USA, with my singing partner Stellar. 

I've had a passion for music since I was a small child, playing bass in a band called Coolslide at 14. Then I played lead guitar in a band called Neon Knights. After coming home from the military, I started writing and playing seriously in a variety of styles. 

My songs are based on real life, using my time in the navy for inspiration.  

Big thanks go to my Mum (Betty Rusch-Ruff) and my dear wife (Dea), who have encouraged me along the way. 

I first met up with Brady about two years ago. Using his lyrics, I have now recorded over 20 songs.  

Re interpretating Brady’s lyrics is very rewarding. Often looking at a subject from a different point of view. I have a house full of instruments and I like to experiment and be creative. 

Brady’s songs allow me to do this. 

My favourite Brady song is ‘Take a new guy out on date’. At 7.3 mins long, it gave an opportunity to ‘go for it’. Play it in your car, driving down the freeway! Today! 

I’m currently composing a song called ‘Blame Blues’, using 

Brady Kent lyrics 

Anny Bravo 

Nigeria | USA | United Kingdom 

"Music is more than melody—it's how I tell stories that people remember.” 

I’m Anny Bravo from Nigeria, although I spend a lot of time in the USA and the UK. I am a singer and songwriter with a passion for turning meaningful lyrics into songs, that leave a lasting impression. For me, music is more than melody, it’s my way of telling stories, expressing genuine emotion, and creating moments that people can relate to.  

My journey with Brady Kent began in December 2025 after he came across one of my on-line gigs and shared a set of lyrics with me. From our very first project to the 10th, I connected with the sincerity of his writing. His lyrics felt honest and purposeful, making it easy to step into each song and give it the emotion it deserved. 

Collaborating with Brady has been one of the most fulfilling creative partnerships I’ve ever had. Every song brings a different story, a fresh perspective, and an opportunity to create something meaningful together. The way he works, matches my professionalism in the best possible way. 

Among the songs we've created is, "A building in his name’. It holds a special place in my heart. The story resonates with me on a personal level, and recording it was both an honour and an unforgettable experience. It reminded me why I love what I do. 

At the heart of every project, my goal remains the same: to create music that speaks to people honestly, carries real emotion, and stays with them long after the final note fades. 

Penny Batt 

Texas, USA 

"I build music around emotion first. The lyrics tell me where they want to go.” 

I’m Penny Batt from Texas, USA. I grew up in a family where music was simply part of everyday life. My grandmother and grandfather were both great singers. I fell in love with the feeling that a great song can create. 

Today I am a singer, songwriter and vocal arranger. One of the things I enjoy most is adapting to whatever a song needs. I love stepping into the genre and style while staying true to the emotion of the story. 

Working with Brady Kent on 14 songs, has been one of the highlights of my musical journey. What started as a single collaboration quickly became an ongoing creative partnership built on trust, honesty and a shared passion for storytelling. Every song has its own personality and every project challenges me to approach the music from a fresh perspective. 

I always start with emotion, then melodies and arrangements, then the story. I build music around the feeling, not just the words. I let the lyrics tell me where they want to go. 

‘The burning stars are still glowing’, ‘Winter Blues Man’, ‘Guess I’m a tortured soul’, and ‘I Don’t see my children’, are the Brady Kent songs I’ve enjoyed producing the most.  

Brady is simply a pleasure to work with. He is open to ideas; encourages creativity and has real trust in the people he works with.  

Music is about telling honest stories, connecting with people and creating songs that stay with listeners long after the music fades. 

Ezzy Israel 

United Kingdom 

"Brady gives you direction—but also the freedom to leave your own signature on every song.” 

My name is Israel, professionally known by my stage name Ezzy. I am a passionate singer, songwriter, and music producer with over 13 years of experience in the music industry. I currently work in the UK. I have recorded 17 songs for Brady Kent. 

Music has been a part of my life from an early age. My journey began under the guidance of my grandmother, who introduced me to the beauty of music and helped shape the skills and passion that continue to define my career today. Those early lessons laid the foundation for my growth as both an artist and a producer. 

As a versatile vocalist, I enjoy performing across a wide range of genres, including R&B, Soul, Pop, Rock, Gospel, Country, Afrobeat, Hip-Hop, EDM, Blues, House, and many more.  

Whether I'm writing heartfelt lyrics, recording lead vocals, creating harmonies, or producing full tracks, I am committed to delivering authentic, high-quality music that connects with listeners. 

At 30 years old, I remain dedicated to continuous growth, creativity, and excellence in every project I take on. Beyond music, I am a Christian and a God-fearing man, and my faith serves as the foundation for my values, work ethic, and the way I approach both life and my career. 

For me, music is more than a profession, it's a calling. My goal is to create timeless songs that inspire, uplift, and leave a lasting impact on audiences around the world. 

Working with Brady has been very rewarding. Whilst he provides general direction he also allows to me to stamp my mark on the song and interpret his lyrics. There is always something fresh and new. I’m flattered to be one of his top tier Guest Musicians. 

My two favourite Brady Kent songs are ‘Do I need to figure it all out’ and more recently ‘Goes to work in a bikini’. The latter is a soul, hip hop song about Reggae music. 

I’m currently working on a song called ‘Is anybody at my age still happy?

Hip hop has grown into one of the world's most influential cultural forces, shaping far more than music. In Unbecoming: The Miseducation of a Poet, author Taquarius Ford explores how hip hop, media, education, religion, and culture influence identity, beliefs, and the way we see ourselves.

Rather than criticizing hip hop, Taquarius Ford examines its cultural impact and invites readers to ask an important question: How much of who we are was intentionally chosen, and how much was shaped by the world around us?

Through personal reflection, cultural commentary, and poetic storytelling, Taquarius Ford encourages readers to think critically about the messages they consume and the voices that have helped shape their lives.

"Culture is one of our greatest teachers," says Taquarius Ford. "The question isn't whether we're being influenced. The question is whether we're aware of what's influencing us."

As conversations continue across the hip hop community about authenticity, mental health, entrepreneurship, relationships, and cultural responsibility, Unbecoming offers a timely perspective on the power of culture to shape individuals and communities.

Unbecoming: The Miseducation of a Poet by Taquarius Ford is available now.

DL, a multi-talented artist hailing from the gritty streets of Queens, NY, has carved a unique path in the world of hip hop, acting, and entrepreneurship. With an unyielding commitment to authenticity and being the “genuine article,” DL has emerged as a true force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.

Rising to prominence, DL’s breakout role came in the cult classic film “King of Paper Chasin’,” where he showcased his acting chops alongside his underground banger, “Bossman.” The film not only captivated audiences but also solidified DL’s position as a multifaceted talent. It was in this defining moment that DL’s artistry began to transcend traditional boundaries, capturing the essence of the streets and the struggles faced by many.

DL’s journey has been marked by setbacks and personal tragedies, including the sudden loss of his younger sister. These hardships have served as powerful catalysts for his artistic expression, allowing him to channel raw emotion into his music and performances. Through his art, DL offers a glimpse into the depths of human experience, delivering messages of resilience, hope, and triumph over adversity.

In his music, DL seamlessly blends his Queens upbringing with his passion for hip hop, creating an unmistakable sound that resonates with fans worldwide. His song titles reflect his diverse range, from the introspective anthem “Good 2 B Here” to the infectious energy of “Off Da Books.” With his latest single, “DAF,” DL introduces a fun and sexy vibe, showcasing his versatility as an artist.

Beyond his individual accomplishments, DL has established his own entertainment company, Triplebeam Worldwide. The name “Triplebeam” serves as a powerful reminder of DL’s roots, ensuring he never forgets where he comes from. It also carries a message of motivation and inspiration for those seeking a way out of their circumstances, a testament to DL’s unwavering belief in the transformative power of music and art.

Driven by a deep desire to give back, DL recently founded the Triplebeam Dreams Foundation. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to uplifting and inspiring the youth who face daily struggles similar to those DL encountered as a young man in the inner city. Through various initiatives, the foundation aims to provide resources, mentorship, and opportunities for personal and artistic growth, empowering the next generation to overcome obstacles and chase their dreams.

DL’s magnetic presence, coupled with his genuine passion for his craft, has garnered him a dedicated fan base that stretches far beyond his hometown. Whether he’s captivating audiences on screen, delivering captivating performances on stage, or making a difference through his philanthropic efforts, DL continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.

In a realm often characterized by pretense, DL’s commitment to authenticity shines through, making him a true beacon of inspiration. Through his artistry, resilience, and philanthropy, DL embodies the power of the human spirit, reminding us all that no setback is insurmountable and that dreams can become a reality.

In DL’s latest release, “Copy”, the artist steps into the part of the journey people never repost. The nights where the wins slowed down. The moments when support disappeared. The times he was counted out, overlooked, underestimated—and expected to fade like everybody else who almost made it.

This is where the imitators stopped watching.

Because copying the image is easy.
Copying the pressure isn’t.

Copying the confidence is easy.
Copying the doubt you have to beat in private isn’t.

When the momentum shifted and the spotlight moved somewhere else, the question wasn’t whether people believed anymore.

It was whether he still believed.

And that’s where the separation happened.

Beam II is about surviving the silence…staying solid when nobody’s calling…and finding the will to keep building when the world already moved on.

Some people tried to copy the look.

Nobody could copy the endurance.

Check out “Copy”, out now on all platforms, and make sure you follow DL on social media for his latest releases.
