南西肯恩

Nanxi Kenen is a duo who, with their warm and sincere singing voices and delicate, emotional musical compositions, portray the sensitive and open-minded hearts of the younger generation.
They have a healing power that is rare in the music world these days, and their music has spread from Taiwan to the wider Chinese-speaking world.
The female vocalist, Nansei (Neci), is the leader and also handles chorus arrangements.
Ken, the male vocalist and guitarist, is mainly responsible for writing lyrics and composing music.
The two first met while performing together at a joint event during their university days, and "Southwest Kenen" was officially formed in June 2017.
Since then, they have toured various university festivals and live music venues, building a solid and stable foundation for their musical career.
It's said that every musician should have a signature song on their journey to the top.
For Nanxi Kenen, her first original song, "Fireworks," which depicts the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of growing up as a teenager, became the key that opened the door to her career.
When this song was released in 2017, it was still just an unpolished demo version at the time, but it attracted a lot of attention and sparked a listening boom on all platforms.
To date, it has over 1 million views on YouTube.
However, this was not just a temporary success, and he continued to break his own records with hit singles such as "Practice - Living Alone" and "The Wide Ocean", and his first full album "A Place That Doesn't Belong to Me", released in 2021, was highly praised by many music critics as the best album of the year.
Nanxi Ken En's music combines brilliant pop melodies with the rustic, warm texture of folk rock, leaving a deep impression on the listener and making them stick in their ears.
They always treasure their own inner stories, depicting them as emotional fluctuations that are universally relatable, creating a close and intimate bond with their listeners.
Since 2020, Nanxi's influence has spread rapidly, and all of her live shows, including solo concerts, EP tours, special Christmas performances, and even thousand-person stages in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, have been sold out and tickets are extremely difficult to obtain.
Furthermore, related merchandise and physical albums are currently sold out.
The moving sight of artists and audiences singing together has become a familiar feature of Nanxi's live performances, and her music has the power to warm the hearts of audiences from major music festivals in Taiwan to venues in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
With the release of their new album in 2023, Nanxi Kenen, as one of the most promising new stars in the indie music industry, is moving step by step towards becoming the best singer-songwriter duo of our time.
Their pure and beautiful voices will continue to provide an unforgettable impression to this generation.
