About
Kenny Drew is a singer, songwriter,
musician, and Christian from Jacksonville, Florida. Besides music, Kenny
enjoys spending time with his family, movies, digital photography, traveling, good food, and just spending time with
friends.
With 24 years of musical experience and a variety of
influences, Kenny's music is a unique blend of contemporary melodic rock.
Various elements of pop, rock, and jazz are united with Kenny's soaring vocals
in these melodic, uplifting songs about life and love.
In 1984, Kenny began a musical journey playing bass guitar. Two
years later, he started singing and gradually became a full time singer
in various bands. Local bands turned into regional touring bands and
Kenny's experience as both a singer and entertainer was honed in front
of thousands of different people. Along the way, he picked up
playing guitar, piano/keys, and drums. After years of watching bands
come and go, he decided to build a studio and try making
music on his own.
In 2003, Kenny Drew released his first solo CD with only the outside
contribution of drums by a long time friend on three tracks of the CD.
All the songs were written and performed by Kenny, and the tracks were
also recorded and mastered in his studio as well. Since then, Kenny continues to make music and perform in various settings. Keeping more to a local level these days, he no longer has his dreams tied to someone else's aspirations or even limitations.
Name: Ken
Johnson - Okay, so who is Kenny Drew? The same person.
Kenny was born with the last name

purposes. He did
this to carry on the family name and because he thought it would be more
memorable.
