Kenna Zemedkun, the Grammy Nominated artist, known professionally as simply Kenna, is an Ethiopian-born American musician. The eldest son of an immigrant family that relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio (and later raised in Virginia Beach, VA), Kenna began to express an interest in music upon receiving a copy of U2's The Joshua Tree. The way he was discovered and the obstacles he faced to land a record deal are briefly discussed in Malcolm Gladwell's 2005 book Blink. His track "Say Goodbye To Love" was nominated for Best Urban/Alternative Performance in the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Sleater-Kinney's musical style sprung from the fertile Olympia, Washington punk scene of the early- to mid-1990s. They formed around the last years of the riot grrrl movement that included bands such as Bikini Kill and Bratmobile. Their stripped down, hard, anti-establishment music was reminiscent of the sound and spirit of the early punk movement of the late 1970s
