    Artist History
    2002 - Self produced debut / 1990 to 1994 - Bass Player for various top 40 bands. / 1987 to 1989 - Drummer for top 40 and Heavy metal band. / 1979 to 1980 - Congas and backup drummer for Johnny Rojo and his Orchestra. / 1978 to 1979 - Drummer for top 40 band. 1977 to 1978 - Drummer for high school band. Want more? One Friday night, older brother Douglas and his band played at a garage gig. Curious 5 year-old Kenny snuck into the garage to witness older Cuzz Melchor, playing the drums to Santana's "Jingo," and El Chicano's "Viva Tirado". Kenny has been hooked to the drums like a crack addict ever since. In 1977, a group from Ohio named Slave bust out with a song called "Slide". 7th grader Kenny was in the garage, on his red see-through Ludwigs, when he heard Mark Adams thumpin on the bass. Kenny's been two-timing his drums ever since with a cheap, Fender Bass (copy). In 1979, Kenny was given the opportunity to play on stage with a family orchestra. However, it was on the condition that Kenny play percussions and play the drums only if the main drummer became ill. Hungry for the experience, Kenny broke the news to his drums and his bass and started a brief life as a percussionist. Kenny's led a life of two-timing instruments ever since. Currently, he's having an affair with the Piano and some Miss Thang named Triton who came from this place called Korg. Other instruments may think of Kenny as an ego-tistical maniac given his insatiable appetite for music and long history of moving from one instrument to the next, but the truth be told? All the instruments Kenny has ever touched, swear that he plays them like no other player.
