Kenny Lee Lewis - The Rawkin Mohawk

Red Town Radio

Born in Pasadena, California, in 1954, Kenny grew up in a music-filled household. His early affinity to music is a reflection of his Native American roots. His bloodlines come directly from two Indian Nations, the Mohawk and the Cherokee. Kenny Lee Lewis is credited as one of the songwriters who gave Steve Miller "personality". Yet, as many Native people do, he chose to stay in the background helping other artists to shine by composing for them. His "Cool Magic" on the Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra album reached Billboard's Hot 100 chart. And, his co-produced "Shangri-La" on Italian X-Rays was described as "the LP's standout track". Kenny’s "Midnight Train" was featured on The Steve Miller Band's 1993 WideRiver album. Always proud of his Native roots, Kenny Lee Lewis - the Rockin’ Mohawk, is showing America that Indian artists have talent and longevity in many musical genres. He is currently a member of the Native American Music Association. It is the world’s leading membership-based association consisting of music industry professionals directly involved in the recording and distribution of traditional and contemporary Native American Music initiatives. In addition to music, Kenny chooses to volunteer his time and talent to the cause of helping Native children who live with a disability. He serves as an Ambassador for a program that teaches Native parents to advocate for their children with school systems. He believes that it his duty to give back by serving the most vulnerable people in Native society.
