Ken Newman is a songwriter, performer, and creative director whose work lives at the intersection of poetry, politics, and human vulnerability. Drawing inspiration from artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and David Bowie, Newman writes songs that ask difficult questions without pretending to offer easy answers. His latest single, “Who Are the Bad Guys,” explores power, inequality, propaganda, and complicity through sharp imagery and emotionally charged storytelling, turning the lens as much toward ourselves as the systems around us. Rather than preaching, Newman’s writing leans into ambiguity, tension, and empathy, allowing listeners to arrive at their own conclusions.
