On this week's episode of The R&B Money Podcast, Tank and J Valentine welcome long-time music tastemaker Kenny Burns for drinks, laughs and scoop on his storied career. Tracing his journey from scrappy club promoter in DC to executive roles at Motown and beyond, Burns reflects on pivotal lessons in shepherding talent like Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, and Monica early on.
With humor and candor, he contemplates the ever-changing nature of music culture and hip hop’s loss of “heart” today, while considering R&B’s resurgence. Burns also shares hard-won wisdom on aligning with one’s authentic self and purpose in order to uplift community beyond fame and fortune.
