With a lithely powerful tenor and rare emotional courage, Breez Kennedy was born to be a loverboy. Pairing supple melodies with unfiltered memories of wounded relationships, he distills a reservoir of sensations through wide-eyed love songs—anthems for dreamers who aren’t afraid to get lost in their feelings. He fuses those gifts on the new Def Jam single “Love Crazy (Blowin Up Your Phone),” as mesmerizing as it is unabashedly heartfelt. Growing up between New Jersey and Florida, he quickly became a musical force of his own making. He was taken early on with the stylings of Chris Brown, wanting to emulate the crooner’s famous runs in his own songs. Breez would repeat those songs so much that his older brother nicknamed him Lil Breez—and the name stuck as his own talent began to crystallize.
He’d won local competitions, and his solo offerings began getting attention. He originally signed to Standard Records at 15 years old and then beginning in 2020, self-recorded songs quickly accumulated thousands of streams after being uploaded online. Using TikTok, Breez also began previewing song snippets as viewers became familiar with his evolving sound. The spark was apparent, he was signed to Def Jam before he released any music because of the impact his previews made on social media. Since he surfaced, he’s collected cosigns from the likes of Swae Lee, Young Thug, and Lil Tjay, and now with new music at his back, he’s positioned himself to make sure his come-up is a continual one.
