We had the good fortune of connecting with Kenneth Hatchett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kenneth, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
Born in Washington DC, raised mostly in Maryland. Went to Full Sail University graduated in 2015 with Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Recording Arts in 2015. After college I started networking with my resources, traveling in and out of California, Arizona, Washington DC, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, New Orleans while helping along tours with different artists such as;

The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Celine Dion, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Pink, 21 savage, J. Cole, Bas, Tyler the creator, Vince Staples, Kali Uchis, Jaden Smith, GoldLink, The Jonas Brothers, 21 Pilots, Gabriel Ingles, Jimmy Buffett, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Mercy Me, Thomas Rhett, Salt&Pepper, New kids on the block, Naughty by nature, and many others.

I felt like in order to make a better future for my son, become what I wanted to be, have certain things that I desired and wanted to accomplish, I would never be at home and that is how I came up with my clothing line “Never At Home Clothing”

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a Father above everything. Also a producer, engineer, DJ, CEO of my own audiovisual company (Sae Wat Audio), and CEO of my own clothing line (Never At Home Clothing). Specialize in producing instrumentals and engineering sound design for short films and movies. I believe what sets me apart from others is my passion and dedication.
I’m more into sound design for visuals and creating instrumentals for games, commercials, films, and podcasts.

In a perfect world things are easy, my world was never perfect. A lot of ups and many downs. From losing family and friends to finances being inconsistent, living arrangements being unfavorable, and plus much more.
How I overcame was staying focus on the goals and using the negativity as fuel to push me forward through any challenge.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was to visit I would first start with her and I traveling to another state and visiting the downtown area and finding new restaurants to eat and drink at. Then find unique museums and different venues that offer music and fun activities.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Big shout out to my son for impacting my life in a major positive way and being my light and drive to make a better future for him and I. Also big shout out to my mother for giving me the drive, dedication, ambition, love, happiness, and support to believe in myself.
Last but not least shout out to my family members Mike, John, Javarrus, Wesly, Anthony, Quinton, Andrew, and Tone for supporting what I do, always being in my corner, and helping me throughout some of my lowest times in the past.
