Detta Kenzie is a Celtic folk singer creating original songs and reworking traditional music. 

 

In her original work a deep connection to the natural world is ever present. Inspired by place names, specific references to Britain, Ireland and Australia bring a strength to Detta’s creations.

 

Themes of womanhood, grief, rebellion and rage are found in her deeply narrative based songs.

Having worked as a Secondary English Teacher before transitioning into music, Detta’s love of language shines through in her storytelling. Her words capture the diversity of the landscape and her ability to both mould and reflect human experience. 

‘A mesmerising performance by Detta Kenzie whose evocative and hypnotic voice is just spine tingling.’ (Cornwall Folk Festival)
