Kenneth Thomas is quickly
positioning himself as one of the to DJs in the Metropolitan Detroit Area.
Continually striving for perfection and bringing progressive trance to the
area both have been his main desires. Acquiring the headlining resident
position on Saturday nights at Motor Detroit, voted number one club in
America by URB Magazine 2001, and launched Kenneth into the spotlight.
Playing Toronto's System Sound Bar and numerous events in Cleveland have
aided him in becoming a force within the national realm. In Detroit he still
concentrates on local club promoting and working relentlessly at bringing
National as well as International talent to the scene.
An inspiring DJ, he says the following in his own words on how he got
started in the music scene. “I was introduced to Paul Oakenfold's,
Tranceport by some friends in San Francisco. Before that I had no interest
in Electronic music. Two years later after becoming submersed in trance and
progressive house music I picked up turntables.” His early influences
include such artist as Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Sandra Collins, Sasha &
Digweed, Dave Seaman and Jon Pak. These influences along with some great
natural ability and fantastic energy are what make listening to “KT” so
great!
He has struggled in his home are of Detroit, trying to break through the
heavy influences of the Detroit techno scene. As he says, “traditionally
this town has not embraced progressive styles of electronic music and has
ever so graciously adopted the saying “Trance Sucks” as its motto as the
anti-progressive capital of the world. This is a very techno oriented city
that doesn't tend to validate any other form of electronic music. But with
the help of my friends, fans, and other DJs we'll work to broaden the
horizons of this city or at least reach as many new people as possible.
“This is the most amazing sound I have ever encountered, I just want to
share it with as many people as possible”
