For
nearly twenty years Kenny traveled with his dad and his brother
in one of Christian music's most popular Southern Gospel trios.
The Bishops garnered several industry and fan awards including the
coveted Dove Award as well as numerous number one and top ten songs.
The group made a name for themselves appearing on television and
stages all across America. Their songs were constants on most every
radio station and program that featured Southern Gospel music. After
thousands of miles, more than two dozen recordings and hundreds
of songs, the Bishops, as a group, retired in 2001.
Now,
after several years away from music, Kenny returns
with his debut recording that features songs that reflect his renewed
spirit, his refocused mission, and his determined devotion to God's love. The success of his return record has made headlines
with a surprise GRAMMY nominations and multiple Dove Award nominations.
Recent
feature articles in major, main-stream music publications have brought
added notoriety to Kenny's story of success and struggle in the Gospel music industry. This attention, coupled with a new understanding
of his mission and purpose, has allowed Kenny to take his message of love-beyond-limits
to many who considered themselves unwanted or neglected by God. His writings and podcasts are popular stops on the Internet.
