In 2015, Kenyon signed her first major production deal with producers Mike Plotnikoff and Igor Khoroshev. Her first album. Her recordings feature guitarist Phil X from Bon Jovi and drummer Gil Sharone from Marilyn Manson.

In 2017, Kenyon began working in with producer Mike Krompass, as well as writers Steve Diamond, Clay Mills and Robbie Nevil; she continues[when?] to collaborate with this team.

In June 2019, Kenyon signed a global distribution deal with Sony Music's Orchard subsidiary, along with Soundly Music. Her first release “When We Love” was released that month. In July that year, Kenyon's debut video premiered on CMT.com.
