Today we’d like to introduce you to Kennedi Broussard.
Hi Kennedi, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I was honestly a raver first. I moved from Louisiana to California on my own, and once I got to San Diego, I started going to a lot of festivals, shows, and EDM events. I fell in love with the scene first, then slowly realized I wanted to understand the business behind it too. Working at NOVA in San Diego helped push me in that direction because I was around nightlife, artists, promoters, and people who were actually working in the industry. It helped me make friends and connections while seeing how events really come together behind the scenes.
I met Noah through TikTok Live, and we ended up hanging out a few days later. After that, we were basically together every day. He was already making dubstep as NoahFence, and I naturally started helping him with things like captions, content ideas, promo, emails, and branding. I’ve always loved all forms of art, so I also started doing a lot of his graphic design, cover art, and visual direction. Over time, “helping out” turned into me fully managing him.
Now I help with his branding, press kit, release strategy, outreach, bookings, graphic design, cover art, and overall career direction. He’s played support for artists like Subtronics, Mersiv, YOOKiE, Jansten, Jaenga, Dirt Monkey, and more, has had a label release, and his music has reached over half a million streams. I’m also a full-time business student, so I’m learning in school and applying it in real life at the same time. A lot of my story has been learning as I go, making connections, and helping build his career from the ground up. My goal is to keep growing as NoahFence’s personal manager and help him become one of the main names you see on festival lineups.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely has not been a completely smooth road, but a lot of it also felt like things were aligning naturally. I originally moved from Louisiana to California by myself to continue pursuing nursing, and I did not have friends or family out here when I first moved. Right before I was supposed to enroll in nursing school, I realized nursing was not the path I wanted anymore.
Music had always been a huge part of my life, but for a long time it did not feel realistic. My dad took me to my first three-day festival, Voodoo Fest in New Orleans, in 2015 when I was 14, and after seeing The Chainsmokers, I fell in love with EDM. But being from Louisiana, where there were not many creative opportunities around me, it felt more like a dream than an actual career path.
Once I moved to California, I started going to more festivals and randomly meeting people who worked in the music industry. Then I would meet someone else at another show, and they would somehow know people I had already met. It started to feel like the scene kept pulling me in. Changing my major to business management with a focus on music was scary because nursing had been the safe plan, but it also felt like the first decision that truly made sense for me. Since then, the biggest challenge has been balancing school, artist management, and learning the industry in real time. There is no perfect roadmap, so a lot of it has been trial and error, making connections, and trusting myself even when the original plan changed completely.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I work as NoahFence’s personal manager, and my role is very hands-on. I help with branding, release strategy, outreach, bookings, show promo, content ideas, graphic design, cover art, and overall visual direction. A lot of what I do is making sure every piece of the project connects, from how the music is presented online to how he is positioned for shows and industry opportunities.
I specialize in seeing the bigger picture. I’m not just focused on one post, one release, or one booking. I care about how everything builds on itself and how each move helps push the project forward. I want NoahFence’s brand to feel clear, authentic, and unique.
What I’m most proud of is the trust we’ve built and the fact that I’ve been able to grow into this role while learning in real time. I’ve had to figure out how to handle the creative side, the business side, and the communication side all at once, and that has made me a stronger manager. What sets me apart is that I can bring creative direction and business strategy together instead of treating them like separate worlds. I can work on the visuals, the messaging, the rollout, the outreach, and the long-term direction all at the same time.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
I’m a very self-taught person. I’ve never really liked learning at a set pace because I usually want to move faster, skip around, and figure things out in my own way. If I get interested in something, I tend to fully hyper-focus on it. I’ll research it, watch videos, practice obsessively, mess it up, fix it, and keep going until it starts to click. That has shown up in a lot of different parts of my life. Growing up, I taught myself instruments through YouTube videos, and I also taught myself how to paint and do realism drawing. I’ve always been super drawn to creative skills, even if I move between them in phases. I tend to obsess over one thing for a while and then move on to something else, but I almost always circle back eventually. I think that curiosity is a big part of who I am. A lot of what I’ve learned with NoahFence, from graphic design and branding to understanding the music industry, has come from being willing to figure things out on my own. I don’t need the path to be perfectly laid out before I start. If I care about something, I’ll find a way to learn it and make it my own.
