From a young age he showed interest in music, particularly rap, and he began to write his own lyrics when he was only five years old. Being the only son, his father instilled it upon him that he had to be strong and help provide for the family, often disregarding Kenny’s emotions in order to shape him into a ‘strong black man’. Kenny witnessed a lot of violence on the streets, including being scouted for a gang when he was only eight years old, and this combined with his father’s behavior lead to Kenny acting out in increasingly destructive and violent ways and turning to underage drinking to cope. He had been arrested and even to juvie for vandalism, arson, and drug posession before a conviction for armed robbery that put him behind bars from the age of thirteen to eighteen. It was in here he learned how to play guitar and began writing songs, and he soon became determined to turn his life around and become an artist. After getting out of juvie he returned to his childhood apartment with his parents, but one of his sisters had moved out to college and the other was serving a sentence for drug possession. While getting his GED online, Kenny worked two jobs stocking shelves and pumping gas, buying a secondhand Gibson Thunderbird bass and practicing whenever he could. At the age of twenty two, Kenny sees an ad on a telephone pole looking for a bassist for an all-black punk band, which he auditions for and gets. Kenny has been in the band for five years, using the money he earned from music to move into a small studio apartment but also to try to make up to his family for all the trouble he caused when he was younger, buying his mother a car, his oldest sister a designer purse, and paying for his middle sister’s rehab and medical care whenever she relapses. Kenny hasn’t bought anything for his father that was not also for his mother, blaming the man for his troubled youth. Kenny isn’t rich, but he makes enough to live comfortably and ghostwrites for rappers when he needs extra money. Kenny still has a short temper and can be explosive or mean especially when he feels insulted or disrespected, but he’s trying to change and unlearn the behavior he grew up with, though he still has a stigma around going to therapy and struggles to talk about his trauma. Kenny is sober from alcohol, knowing he can get mean when drunk, but he smokes weed and cigarettes. Throughout his adult life he’s had several short-lived relationships, usually ending them due to fear and insecurity if they begin to get too serious.

Two years ago, The Luther Kings had a hit with their song Momma’s Boy, and since then they have had a steady rise in popularity, giving the members enough traction to go on their first tour.
