Kenny Kenn was a Jersey City videographer and platform builder who gave the city's unsigned artists a stage long before social media existed to fill that role.
In the Record§
He created DJ Kenny Kenn's Unsigned Hype DVD, which documented and promoted unsigned Jersey City talent during the DVD era -- a format that preceded YouTube as the primary way local artists reached audiences.
He produced the Promise Me Tomorrow documentary series and is remembered by peers as a staple of Jersey City culture who 'gave us all a shot to be on the tube way before social media.'
