After three years at Berklee, songwriting major Ken Yates realizes he doesn't want to "rip any major solos on electric guitar." He just wants to come up with good songs.

To get such a good recommendation from John Mayer, you're obviously something special! I hope you go far :-)

Way to go, Ken! Keep it up, keep it real and stay true to yourself :) Your fellow Ontarians are keeping an eye on you ;)

I played with this man for about 4 or 5 years in our band together and although we never got to record an ep, I can def say he is something truly special. Great job Kenny, can't believe the way its all coming together for ya bud! :D

Man i wish i could attend Berklee -

I live in Denmark and i go to a music oriented high school, but it just isn't in any sense as interresting as Berklee..

I'm just discovering my style now, which is kind of ignorant to say because i believe you always develop as a musician - i'd rather say: i've started to acknowledge that i can't ever sound like my idols, because their work is theres, and if i try and compare myself to them i'm never gonna accept myself as a musician :)
