Artist History
Daryl Kenny is an accomplished musician and a prolific composer. The release of his latest CD, “The Chimera Project”, reflects his exceptional talent and eclectic taste in music. Over eighty songs already existed in Daryl’s repertoire when he decided to create “The Chimera Project”. As the recording sessions got under way, more than twenty musicians eagerly participated with him and Daryl wrote several more songs along the way. “The Chimera Project” exhibits Daryl’s gift for hearing a musician’s particular sound and then arranging a song to reflect that person’s talent. The result is an innovative blend of enchanting sounds, immaculate voices and haunting lyrics. |
