How He Got Started

Kenzie didn't take singing seriously until high school, when he performed karaoke at a local restaurant.  Not only did he impress his family but his friends to.  They encouraged him to sing more, he started going every Friday and eventually won a few local contests.  Kenzie started playing gigs in  and around Tampa and even got to open for Charlie Daniels and Craig Campbell.  He tried out for the NBC show The Voice and did very well because he is a great singer and is stands out in the crowd due to his mullett.

The Infamous Mullet

Kenzie's dad encouraged him to grow a mullet, which has been a huge hit with his fans and is now his trademark.  His days now consist of maintaining his mullet and music and working at a grocery store warehouse.

Following the success of The Voice, he continues to update his fans with new music.
