Kenny Thomas on 90s Hits, Perspective & Performing for Quincy Jones
On the latest episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by British R&B singer Kenny Thomas as he prepares for his current tour.
We look back at the 90s, the era that saw Kenny score major hits and become a household name. But as he explains, chart positions and number ones aren’t everything — and success looks very different with hindsight.
Kenny opens up about the highs and the difficult moments in his career, what it feels like to revisit those songs on stage now, and what fans can expect from the new live shows.
He also shares a remarkable story about singing for music legend Quincy Jones, a moment that stands out even in a career full of highlights.
It’s a thoughtful conversation about longevity, legacy and loving the music.
