The magnetic pull of music knows no bounds, and Kenny Slim's journey is a testament to that very force. From the vibrant heart of Memphis to the sun-kissed stretches of Arizona, his tale weaves through the gospel choirs of his youth to the grand stages alongside titans like Tank and Gerald Levert. Join us as Kenny unfurls the narrative of his career, revealing how a planned retreat into the shadows of writing and producing unexpectedly reignited his love for the limelight.
Navigating the complexities of the music industry can feel like an intricate dance, but with Kenny Slim as your partner, the steps seem to flow effortlessly. We converse about his love for the organic quality of live instrumentation and how it breathes life into his songwriting. He recounts the emotional backstory of "Country Boys," a song born from a deal gone awry, and shares the resilience it takes to stay true to one's artistic vision amidst the industry's turbulence. Kenny's chronicles illuminate the relentless pursuit of crafting music that resonates with the soul.
But our dialogue transcends the notes and rhythms to address the pressing issues facing Memphis today. We discuss the city's challenge with crime and the collaborative efforts needed to cultivate a safer community. As we peek into Kenny's 2024 horizon, excitement builds for his new musical collaborations and entrepreneurial ventures, which promise to echo the harmony and connection he fosters within his community and beyond.
