Affirmations for High Achievers

Award-winning pianist, composer, and recording artist Joe Kenney will share his book, "Affirmations for High Achievers" through a live piano concert interwoven with insights from the book, exploring how music and affirmations can work together to support focus, resilience, and personal growth. It offers both artistic engagement and meaningful takeaways.

Joe Kenney, a graduate of West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a B.M. in piano performance (2013), is a recording artist, songwriter, and pianist from Philadelphia. The music on Kenney's five albums and various collaborations span multiple genres, and are reflective of a cohesive blending of classical music theory, jazz fusion, rock, soul, and hip-hop idioms. Joe has garnered praise for both his original compositions and cover arrangements.

His book, "Affirmations for High Achievers, aims to serve as a blueprint to achieve the realization of big dreams in different arenas of life. Volume I: Success features the powerful presentation of 160 affirmations with corresponding QR codes - pairing each positive message with an original piano composition, to help the audience internalize the spirit of the messaging in an immersive way.

From the first time Joe sat down to play the piano at age six, his musical talent emerged. However, his insight that music teaches lessons applicable to improving his understanding of himself and the world around him soon became a stronger motivating force than his innate affinity for music. This philosophy led to his collaborative success producing the 2024 inaugural Harmonic Hope & Healing Festival, an annual event designed to bring awareness to the role of music in healing mental illness.
