Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne was born in Spokane, WA in 1944. During the 60's and 70's of the past century he was based in Los Angeles and early of the eighties settled in Toronto, Canada. His beginnings in music in the early 60's were linked to bebop jazz and gospel music, soon influenced the young Wayne the music of Ray Charles, Big Joe Turner and Fats Domino who became his devotion. Once established in Canada, the Chicago blues of Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon propelled the pianist to define his own style in which boogie-woogie captivated his fingers on the keyboard making him a true master on the piano. He began with the organ of the church where his father was a preacher and his style took the direction marked out by the swing of Kansas City, New Orleans Jazz and the jump blues of the West Coast. After years of club performances, mostly in Los Angeles and Canada, Wayne record
ed his first album in 1995, "Alive & Loose," which
launched him to a wider audience. His rise to fame
led to tours in Canada, the United States, and Europe
and his progression as a blues and boogie artist allowed
him to emerge as the virtual successor to the great legends of the genre, an ambassador of their legacy throughout the world, and the last of the legendary pianists.
OOH YEAH, HE'S THE BOSS
