“I want people not to just dance but to feel the tunes. My music motivates someone to go forward and be great… because we all are… My duty is to inspire and spread positive energy through my words. By telling my people to be strong, it doesn’t matter what your circumstances are …. Think good about yourself, believe in yourself strongly, but I don’t mean being proud or full of yourself. This is how I overcome my hurdles, and in return, I uplift people’s spirits with a positive message and highlight my roots… live up!” – Kenny Smyth
