Partying Sober: Brownies & Lemonade’s Chad Kenney Gets Candid About His Journey
“I thought that success and achieving my dreams in my career in music was going to magically solve all of those things and it just didn’t,” says Chad Kenney, creative director of the Los Angeles-based music collective Brownies & Lemonade (B&L). Named as one of 2019 Billboard Dance’s Power Players it might come as a surprise that as an adolescent Kenney battled with depression and other underlying, unaddressed issues. His mental health struggles coupled with the party life and easy access to alcohol quickly put him in a less than desirable position. Anyone working in nightlife knows how rife with temptations it is. Now three years sober, he’s been able to rewrite his narrative and establish a different relationship with alcohol. Kenney shares his story behind his decision to quit drinking and addresses the music industry’s complicated relationship with partying and alcohol.
