Westleaf Staff: What's up Kenny? When did you start making music?
Kenny Tiller: I think the better question is when did music make me and that was in 2001. I heard Jay-Z and after that I wanted to make music.
Westleaf Staff: Real! Jay is a legend. So how did your early life shape your interest in music?
Kenny Tiller: Being from Louisiana all you're going to hear is music. That's all we had no cable TV but we had the radio. It kept us somewhat hip to everything.
Westleaf Staff: That's dope. Radio used to be a vibe back then. What city do you represent?
Kenny Tiller: What city do I represent? Shreveport, Dallas, Atlanta they all have a place in my DNA.
Westleaf Staff: Those are some dope cities. So how did you create your stage name?
Kenny Tiller: Kenny Tiller is who I had to become to survive in this world. A far cry from the kid from Louisiana.
Westleaf Staff: That's cool, man. So who is your biggest Musical influence?
Kenny Tiller: It would be unfair to say one artist but if I had to pick one it's Michael Jackson.
Westleaf Staff: That's dope! What's been the defining moment in your music career thus far?
Kenny Tiller: Release my first song and watching people get behind it. It was a surreal moment.
Westleaf Staff: That's real! So what does art mean to you?
Kenny Tiller: Art is your fingerprint on life. Take Michelangelo, he died March 6, 1475 and is still talked about. He left his fingerprint on life.

Kenny Tiller: A consistent artist with a loyal fanbase.
