Kennie was born and raised in the small New York Hudson River Valley town of Nyack. Nyack is the home of many show business celebrities and by going to school with some of the children from these families, Kennie was inspired and encouraged to express his musical creativity. Kennie started performing in a 3rd grade talent show where he song Ray Charles' âHit the Road Jackâ. For the last 20 years Kennie has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. He moved to Mendocino County, California in 1984 where he owned a catfish farm. There he tended fresh water ponds, strummed his guitar and sang his songs, entertaining friends and family.

In 2006 Kennie started recording his music. He now spends his winters at his home in Mazatlan, Mexico where he has just finished recording his second album, âButterfly Wingsâ, which will take you on a journey through a world of dreams, magic, and musical passion. âButterfly Wingsâ will be released in July 2007.
