Teenage fame with football protest song

At the age of 16, McKenna self-released “Brazil“, a protest song criticising FIFA and the 2014 World Cup held in Brazil.

The song, submitted as part of his GCSE music coursework, was certified platinum with 600,000 sales.

In 2015 he won Glastonbury Festival’s emerging talent competition.

McKenna’s latest album follows the release of What Do You Think About the Car? in 2017 and Zeros in 2020.
