Kenton Dunson featuring Ryan Kellie - Firestarter

Maryland-based musician, rapper and singer Kenton Dunson presents his debut music video “Firestarter” in conjunction with LA-based independent production house Pheonix Is Burning. The song also serves as the lead single from his Creative Destruction 2 free album and garnered over 100,000 downloads to date. The clip was helmed by William J. Bastian II and tells the story of two lovers who share a chemistry that very few experience, yet lack the maturity and honesty to properly handle the emotions that come with it. The song itself was based on one of Kenton’s own experiences. He has always been intrigued by the term “Firestarter” but it wasn’t until he dated a serial heart breaker, that it actually meant something to him. Kenton recounts:

“She was blazing a mean trail! Eventually she must have realized her faults because she later apologized saying she didn’t mean any harm but honestly, when does that ever help? I’m actually good friends with her today so my goal is not to put that individual on blast but as you progress as a songwriter, you absolutely must allow yourself to express true emotion whether the subject is sensitive or not.”
