JUNK FROM MY TRUNK... ...OR A TRUNK FOR MY JUNK
Kenny will always be the first to admit that he spends too much time in his own head. It may sound harmless enough, but a few listens to his music will quickly reveal how conflicted his head is and how fascinating a place it must be.
In 2007, Kenny took a serious leap of faith and moved to from his hometown of Alameda, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area to San Diego, CA. Without any prospects or connections, Kenny was left to establish himself based on his abilities as a musician and songwriter. And he has done just that. His soothing voice coupled with his already formidable (and constantly improving) guitar playing and intelligent songwriting have won the respect of audiences, critics and other musicians throughout the West Coast.
In June 2008, Kenny released his debut EP "Self Centered" which he considers to be an sarcastic ode to himself. Unfortunately, you will not find any songs about false bravado, delusions of grandeur or love songs on the album. Much like his head, the album is filled with songs that espouse his internal conflict framed as life experiences. It's this kind of introspection that drives his songwriting but sometimes, as those close to him would say, he just needs to "get out of his head".
According to Kenny, the biggest challenge is reconciling his ideals with his dreams. He'll say it's about balance and honesty. On one hand, he knows that he has something special to offer and wants to share his unique talents with everyone he can. On the other hand, he remains humble and respectful to the fact that not everyone will enjoy or even understand his music and that success with these constantly conflicting ideas may or may not be possible. But "success" has never motivated his music. In fact, Kenny would tell you that he'd rather have little to no success as long as his music stayed honest to himself.
If nothing else, Kenny wants you to think about his music critically. And if you feel like supporting art, he hopes that you'll support his.

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
I do booking in the greater San Diego area. If your interested in letting me book you some shows, we should talk. Hit me up, and keep making real music bro!
