KenanPR/Marketing

Kenan’s love for music dates back to before his full conception: as a fetus, his parents played him Jimi Hendrix records on weekends so that he would grow up to be a famous guitarist. Unfortunately, his skill for the guitar never developed. In its place is an undeniable necessity to write, comment, blog, and criticize. Shunning the normal avenue after graduation from Boston University, Kenan has turned in his suit and tie and decided to live the freelance lifestyle and work on his first novel. He's also deeply involved in a plot to get himself into the New Yorker, as well as become the next Peter Travers. When not immersed in a novel, you can find him working out, painting, writing, or in an artsy movie theater.
