In the studio working on his second release on Fader4 Records, Kenny Ray Horton is a singer/songwriter who truly loves music.
After becoming what most would call a successful songwriter by receiving an R.I.A.A. certified Gold Record for selling over 500,000 copies of songs recorded by the likes of Kenny Rogers and Donny Osmond, Kenny Ray now sings in the DC area and tours whenever possible. With writing being such a passion of his, he is never far from his guitar and a blank sheet of paper...
Writing as a staff writer in Nashville for John Prine's Oh Boy Records taught Kenny Ray the value of a great hook-line and how priceless the right melody can be. Getting the chance to write songs with his songwriting idols was a huge opportunity that he did not take lightly and getting to learn from the best was a great privilege.
His passion is for the writing but his love is in the performance in front of a crowd. Kenny Ray states,"When the music and the crowd are right and you are the singer that gets to put the music out there, there is nothing like it!" From the high energy, rockin' tunes to the heart wrenching ballads that everyone can relate to, you can be guaranteed to find many of Kenny Ray's songs that will make you feel like they were written just for you!
