One of the most prolific artists of the modern music age, Kenny has been entertaining and astounding the masses alike with his fusion of house, hip-hop, Latin, jazz, soul, and broken beats. Known as a living encyclopedia of beats, Kenny Dope is a purveyor of sonic masterpieces.
Born in 1970, Kenny Dope grew up in Brooklyns Sunset Park and by the early eighties he was absorbing hip hop beats that were being played at the local street parties
In 1990 after an introduction by Terry, Kenny and DJ Little Louie Vega immediately hit it off and began a creative partnership appropriately dubbed Masters At Work. As the MAW sound became more pervasive in clubs, they became more sought after by artists and labels, eventually remixing and producing artists such as R. Kelly, Janet Jackson, Daft Punk, Barbara Tucker, India, Luther Vandross,< BeBe Winans, George Benson and many, many more.
