Keny Grey

Biography

Keny Grey, from the cold midwest city of Minneapolis, is a vocalist and singer-songwriter, trying to discover and understand the 'meaning of life.' Keny spent his early years being raised by a teen mom struggling to make ends meet. Moving from home to home was commonplace and switching schools was equally as frequent. He was the unknown new kid in class year after year. Much of his introspective personality and philosophy in life is owed to this humble and unstable beginning.  Keny has always been inspired by his family to achieve more. A family poor in dollars, but rich in resilience, encouraged him everyday to always persevere. Keny is deeply driven by and impassioned by both the family he loves and the family he has lost. Keny began to focus heavily on strengthening his second language, American Sign Language, when his Grandpa passed away. Hearing loss is a trait that runs through his family: His Grandma is deaf, his brother is hard of hearing, and his grandpa was deaf too before passing. Keny often interlaces ASL in his music to create access for his friends and family in the Deaf community.
