This week I’m kicking it with another friend of mine Kenny
Spear. Mr. Spear is a local recording artist that comes from my hometown of
Detroit. He is multi-talented with the ability to play piano and acoustic
guitar while singing, rapping, and beat boxing.
This born prodigy has been composing music since he was six years old. You
can currently find Kenny either at Wayne State’s School of Preforming Arts or
preforming at 526 Piano Bar in Royal Oak, Michigan. He has a huge event coming at Macomb Music Theatre with a crazy story
that brought it all together.
Before I tell you that crazy story let me tell you about
the event. The event is called The Detroit Super Vine, its going to be
held this coming Friday, January 31, 2014 at The Macomb Music Theatre, Doors
open at 6:30pm. The Macomb Music Theatre is located at 31 N. Walnut Street Mt.
Clemens, MI 48043. Kenny Spear, Ryan Figlioli, and Andre Drummond will host
this event. Yes , that’s right I said
the Detroit Pistons own Andre
Drummond.
About two months ago Kenny started a Vine. Vine is a social
media app where people can create and share six second looping videos. In the
last two months he has acquired over 12,000 followers. In that time Kenny came
across what Vine calls Freestyle-Friday where he seen a video posted by Andre
Drummond. Kenny then made his own Freestyle-Friday video and tagged Andre
Drummond in it. After a little back and
forth the two begun following each other on both Vine And Twitter. This friendship
gave Kenny the idea to start a campaign to get Andre voted in to the NBA
All-Star Game. His plan was to create a music video/rap song that would highlight
all of Andre’s talents on the basketball court. The video then lead to multiple
Vines asking for everyone’s vote. This friendship, the video, and all the Vines
also gave Andre an idea, his idea was Detroit
Super Vine.
