How many musical artists today can sing and song write in three languages -- fluently, have four-octave ranges, are expert pianists, and dedicate their lives to serving the world through music? He sings with the tenderness of a soul crooner, and in the same breath, with the grit and stamina of a rock star. Kenny Wesley is the young new face of pop and urban music.
"Kenny’s four octave range and quirky accessibility held the audiences’ attention captive with its plunging low tones, soaring high notes and mastered control...His songs took its listeners on a journey through love’s perils and triumphs; their breath hung on every note." - Andrea McPherson - Examiner
“Kenny's tenor is Hathaway deep, Luther warm and, in terms of color, could only be described as golden. Truly an anointing moment whenever he and a microphone cross paths" - Grammy award-winning Singer/Songwriter, Gordon Chambers.
Originally from Jacksonville, North Carolina, Kenny is part of a rich music heritage. “My mother and almost all of her side of the family are incredible musicians, so it seemed natural for me to be a musician.” He was barely a toddler when he started singing and by age 9 he had already created his first compositions for voice and piano.
His love for music and other cultures has taken him around the world where he has performed before presidents, dignitaries, heads of state, and high-profile celebrities. He has shared the stage with several national recording artists such as Stephanie Mills, Anthony David, Kindred, Eric Roberson, Sy Smith, N'Dambi, Yolanda Adams, Tamia, Zo! & Phonte (The Foreign Exchange), Vikter Duplaix, Mike Phillips, Gordon Chambers, Maya Azucena and Leela James.
His songs have been featured on a number of media outlets and projects such as: ABC’s “The View”, WHUR, Music Choice, Good Morning Arizona!, soulbounce.com, The Contemporary Songbook 3 (Soulunsigned), The Soul Prototype (Kebomusic), and Beautiful Weirdo (GreenTea).
