About Me

my best friends father accused me of looking like a bowlegged gorilla eight years ago, he saw me walking down the street and said, "that boy kenny, he looks like a Bow Legged Gorilla", and ever since then thats what i've bin called. Ive bin beat boxing since i was 13 also playin guitar since i was 13, i put the two together and started writing lyrics when i was 16. i grew up in Pasadena md just outside of Baltimore city. my fathers a plumber and my mother is a school bus driver. things i like to do when im not playing music is skate boarding painting, sheets of rusted metal, fait chains, i like working hard choping wood mixing mud laying block, but not all the time, i like gardening, and reading and playing old time music. i play a little claw hammer banjo and im learning how to play the fiddle. get at me if you want to do something fun i dont hang out with people enough. a
