Downtown Locals - Kenny

Times Square: Kenny T.
Kenny quit school and started performing on the streets at age 10. Now 26, he plays
the synthesizer and melodica and break dances. Kenny moves his act throughout the
subway system, always ready for an impromptu performance "because where there
is a crowd, there's an opportunity." Also denied acceptance to MUNY, Kenny
struggles as a freelance performer. The police often shut down his act, and Kenny
attributes this to the color of his skin.
