We are a kind of gang, a tribe of people who love music and like things a little different, a little more interesting, a little more than the mainstream, a little more unusual - because we can handle it, because we are thinkers. Kenny doesn't do middle ground, he doens't do easy, he doens't do mainstream, he doesn't really do covers. Kenny writes his own music, music and words that mean something to him, and then he leaves room for you, the audience, to put your own thoughts into what he might mean, he's hoping you will find something in what he's saying in his songs that will mean something to you too so you are a part of this process and this creativity.
Kenny Schick has been making music is whole life, he started with clarinet and saxophone at the age of 9, then started his first band a the age of 13 playing electric guitar. He was as dedicated to music then as he is now, practicing like a classical or jazz musician would, and when most people lay aside their music to go and get a 'real job' Kenny only dug his heels in deeper.
Apart from his music he also professionally produces and records music other than his own and works as a photographer. He also has and still is playing with all kinds of bands, artists and important musicans and playing all kinds of genres, all the time, humbly winning accolades and adoration that most people will never hear about. His world is vast and he know's a vast amount of people. He works hard at his craft, he's always learning, always developing, always working harder and longer and more intensely but, he makes sure noone sees all that, so that all you see is effortless, seamless and smooth performances and work. He makes it all look so easy, likes he's been doing it forever..., and he has. ...read more
