DC Native Kenny Barnes began singing gospel music in church at a very young age and honed his skills at that city’s Duke Ellington School of the Arts.
It wasn’t long before people took notice of his smooth baritone voice, a voice that would eventually lead him to performing and working with such musical giants as James Brown, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Bruce Hornsby, the O’Jays, Richard Smallwood and Dottie Peoples.
Kenny says the concept for his song “The Wish” came to him one night while he was watching TV: “These woman were talking about a man singing to a lady, and one woman said that all he has to do is sing to me and I’m all his. So, I kind of coupled that idea with the idea that someone could actually just sing to someone, and really make them fall in love with just their voice”.
