About Me

Kenneth "Kendo" Walker, also known as Do to family and friends, was a child of the 80's. He grew up during an era of multitalented Hip-Hop artists, such as Public Enemy, Erick B & Rakim, and N.W.A, that produced authentic music that is still being used as a mold for the kind of sounds we hear today. These influences, as well as the "big brother mentoring" of Chuck D, renown from the multi-platinum group Public Enemy, helped to breed a young man that is exciting, creative, and full of fire. Never being afraid to explore new job titles, Kendo has been, and still is, a songwriter, lyricist, producer, actor, mentor, friend, and father. Coming forth with at least five MC styles within, shows his versatility and originality. His calm demeanor presents us with logic and truth in lyrics that are lucid and enlightening. Kendo's multifaceted approach may have some calling him "different," but this opinionated star keeps the crowd educated and interested, and always partying when he is entertaining with the support of his band, The Almost Famous. Through great leadership and friendship, Kendo has organized and motivated his band through and towards all rising situations. Living by his motto "Never Stop" and the words of one of his many hit songs, "It Always Feels Like Somebody's Watching Me" Kendo and The Almost Famous Band is always reaching for a higher level and seeking more to accomplish, while they live their lives and perform every song as if the world is always watching. The name of the band is always a constant reminder and drive to the entire team that there is always more to be achieved. With this attitude, Kendo and The Almost Famous Band will forever be reaching for the next rung on the "never-ending" ladder that will keep them on top.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/22/2005
Band Website: slamjamz.com
Band Members: KENDO-Al_TAR - The leader, all around talent. "Ken "do" it all, lead vocal, composer, producer, performer, the controlled-speed quarterback. The HIP-HOP of the team.

RUBINO - A talented co-vocalist, who brings the vigor, the inferno, and the supportive commitment that gets the crowd stirring. The ROCK of the team.

Gypsy - The scream, the loose, uncontrlled section of life, expressing that young "Hendrix" in an old, Jip-Cee way. The GRUNGE of the team.

Rick - The tempo, the crunch of a snare, a 6'4," streamline, costant grove of soles, a 808 bass drum amplified 5x over, that church drummer you remembered from last sunday's service. The SOUL of the team.

Almost Famous - (1) an intermediate position in one's entertainment career. (2) A point of comfort.The statements listed above are a couple of thoughts that might come to mind when an entertainer thinks of the words "Almost Famous," but to this group of four, those words stand for more. Its dual purpose as the band's title and also as a constant, visual prompt, reminds them everyday of the never-ending growing achievements of the group. These four have combined Hip-Hop,Rock,Grunge,& Soul to complete a sound that"courners" the market. Their mixture is unusual, more forceful than the "pimped out" sounds of today, but more delicate that your metal band of yesterday. A treat, if you will, to a music lover's ears.
