His musical style is characterized by a blend of folk and hip-hop. In terms of his music career, he is signed to Island Records for the rest of the world and Interscope Records in the United States.

His work includes appearances on various television programs such as The Graham Norton Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

Refining for Word Count and Flow:
Current count is around 140 words. I need to expand to reach the 180-260 range without inventing facts.
Expansion Strategy:
Include more details from the sources. Mention the specific music videos/performances listed in Source 5 if they relate to his professional output, though the prompt asks for a "career overview of Dermot Kennedy (Acting)". Wait, the prompt asks for a "career overview of Dermot Kennedy (Acting)". However, the sources present him as both an actor and a singer. If I only write about acting, I might struggle to hit 180 words if the acting credits are limited. I should integrate his identity as a singer/songwriter as it is part of his professional profile in the sources.
Draft 2:
Dermot Joseph Kennedy is an Irish singer, songwriter, and actor born on December 13, 1991, in Rathcoole, County Dublin, Ireland. His musical work features a blend of folk and hip-hop elements
