Raised in rural Pennsylvania, Kenniff began playing music at age 10 and studied percussion at Boston\u2019s Berklee College of Music, releasing Helios\u2019s 2004 debut Unomia while still in school. \u201cAt first there was no intention of actually putting anything out,\u201d says Kenniff. \u201cHelios was just a way for me to experiment with making music without having to get in a band\u2014I could just do it on my own whenever I wanted.\u201d Over the next decade, Kenniff released five more albums as Helios, along with creating post-classical music under the name Goldmund, collaborating with his wife Hollie in the shoegaze-inspired pop duo Mint Julep, and frequently composing music for film and television.\u00a0In his pursuing multiple musical projects over the years, Kenniff\u2019s continually returned to Helios as a channel for his most personal and self-contained creative output. \u201cMaking music for Helios is very soothing to me,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen I sit down to write, I turn my brain off and go on autopilot, and sooner or later the songs will come to me. I don\u2019t think about it and I don\u2019t ever try to force anything\u2014if something\u2019s going to happen, then it\u2019s going to happen on its own.\u201d<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”80″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” centered_text=”true” column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”6855″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”none” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AsfrcWVwvac”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”left” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_2″ nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” image_url=”6854″ hover_effect=”defaut” box_shadow=”none” border_radius=”none” play_button_size=”default” video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UgaQo3OaAv8″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”20″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”80″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” centered_text=”true” column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
