I'm Kenny Powell, and I'm a pre-Kindergarten teacher from Sacramento, California. I also happen to be a singer/songwriter/producer. I decided to combine the two things I love most and do best, and the result is my debut CD, "Preschool Jam!" This CD is a collection of original, traditional, movement, learning, sing-a-long, resting, and just plain fun songs for kids, parents, teachers, and anyone who loves to groove! "Preschool Jam!" is designed to encourage and stimulate young minds to learn and grow, and to enhance and reinforce the positive lessons that children learn at home, at school, and anywhere else.
I have over 20 years of preschool-daycare experience, and I hold a Child Development Teacher Permit issued by the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. "Preschool Jam!" has been field-tested at various child care centers, and the response has been so tremendously positive that I just had to make the CD available to everyone! Two of the recurring themes of this wonderful feedback are "We've played the CD so much, we've almost worn it out!" and "You've got to sell this CD!" Older kids and adults seem to enjoy "Preschool Jam!" as much as preschoolers do.
My biggest musical influences are Stevie Wonder, James Brown, George Clinton, and Earth, Wind & Fire. However, I love a wide variety of music, and I try to bring that variety to my own music. I believe that children deserve more choices, as long as the choices are positive and appropriate. On a personal note, when I'm not teaching or making music, my interests and activities include weight training, swimming, sports, music, and reading the newspaper.
Please take the time to listen to all of the clips from "Preschool Jam!" You'll discover that it's a different kind of children's music CD from a different kind of children's music artist. And don't forget to check out my website by clicking on the link provided. ENJOY!!!
