About Kenny Burns:
Kenny Burns, a native of Washington, DC, was born with the drive to succeed. When he relocated to Atlanta, he started his own company, 2620 Music, and monopolized Atlanta's party scene in the mid 1990's. Based on his track record of breaking unknown talent in the Atlanta market, he was hired to promote Monica's debut album "Miss Thang." For his next feat, Kenny helped promote Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt" album to its initial certified gold success. Soon after, Kenny moved to NYC and learned the music business from Andre Harrell at Motown Records. Eventually, Kenny rose to the position of Vice President at Mariah Carey's Monarch Music and later at Roc-A-Fella records, where he mentored Kanye West, Young Gunz, Allen Anthony, Samantha Ronson and Nicole Wray. In 2004, while still working at Roc-A-Fella Records, Kenny along with friends Derek Dudley and Ryan Glover teamed to launch Ryan Kenny, an upscale men's fashion line. Fashion icons such as Jay-Z, Usher and Common have worn Ryan Kenny. The brand also earned the distinction of becoming the first black designers featured in Saks Fifth Avenue since Willie Wear had in the 1980's. Through a partnership with Alloy Media and Marketing, the official "Lifestyle Specialist," has lent his savvy marketing prowess to a host of clients including AXE/Unilever and Heineken. Kenny is currently the host of The Kenny Burns Show, which airs on V-103 from 2-6pm on Saturday and Sundays.
