When Kenan began writing melody-centric instrumental tunes heavily influenced by metal and jazz, he gave birth to EARTH7. Soon after this creation, a three-song EP was released, featuring him playing and recording the guitar, bass, drums, and synthesizers, while also undertaking the tasks of mixing and mastering—all in his small home studio. However, due to the intricacy of the songs, playing them live solo would have been incredibly difficult. This led to him being joined by frequent collaborators and best friends Zev on drums, Luke on bass, and Danny on guitar—all talented musicians with whom he has great chemistry, both on and off the stage. Their debut full-length studio album, Alia Terra, was produced by Pablo Viveros of Ameonna, and formerly of Chelsea Grin and released on August 16, 2019. earth7's drummer, Zev Rose, joined the Canadian metal band Spiritbox shortly after, while continuing to collaborate within EARTH7.

EARTH7's EP Shine was released on April 22, 2022, and features guest performances by Richard Henshall of Haken and Stephen Taranto of The Helix Nebula.
