“Working with the Tenors has been a real learning experience” says Ken, “these guys have been performing for years and know all the tricks. I’m learning more and more every day about performing and having the time of my life. One thing is for sure, getting standing ovations every night is really fun!”
Ken’s dream is to become the next Michael Bublé and from the audience’s reaction he looks to be on his way!
