Whitney K is the musical vehicle for Canadian born songwriter Konner Whitney. He is known for his agile lyricism, unpolished yet luminously resonant recordings, and a gritty baritone that balances cool detachment with profound emotional undercurrents. For years, Whitney K existed as an amorphous moving target, as restless as the man behind it. After a string of cassette releases, the band focused its vision on their highly praised 12” debut, Two Years (2020; Maple Death Records), a pivotal period during which band-member Josh Boguski’s role solidified as primary collaborator and producer. Together with multi-talented musicians Avalon Tassonyi and Michael Halls, their synergy has since yielded two more acclaimed albums on Maple Death: Hard to be a God (2022), an immersive orchestral EP, and Vivi! (2023), a frenetic live album preserving their first international tour. 

“Nomadic Canadian channelling magical realism, country rock and Lou Reed”

“Whitney’s ability to capture a deep existential yearning and conjure majesty through a connection to something far bigger and more meaningful is immediately striking.”
