Kenakia’s love for music started very early in her life. By the time she was able to walk she knew that dancing would be second nature to her as well as her love for song. As a teenager she would enter herself into the local talent shows in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. Kenakia later found herself performing regularly at the former French Quarters nightclub expressing herself either by song or dance. In highschool though a very quiet student everyone knew about her dancing abilities. Kenakia found that her peers and teachers would call upon her with the task of being on the danceteam and choregraphing most of the rountines for Senior Class Day. However, her undying passion for music did not stop. A student at Alabama State University, she managed yet more shows around the campus of ASU. Kenakia has performed at ASU Homecoming event with then college classmate Suan aka “Delishious” of MTV’s Flava of Love. Fate transferred her from ASU in Montgomery, Al, to Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, Al. Kenakia then ventured out to other avenues of the music game. In 2004-2005 she worked for Clear Channal radio station(Power 93.3) a synicated morning show with Doug Banks. With her tenacious drive she managed to work as an intern at a radio station while simutaneously teaching dance classes at Saba International Dance School. While at Power 93.3 due to her accessibility to many celebrities Kenakia started to pursue another one of her longtime passions to write her own demo hip-hop magazine called ALA (short for Alabama.Currently not out). Once ALA mag hits the shelves, Kenakia promises it will be the hottest magazine of the deep South. She has interviewed and met Lil Scrappy, Cee-Lo, Pastor Troy, Crime Mobb, Rasheeda, Master P, Marques Houston, Gucci Man, Mac Brezzy, Young Sneed, Young Jeezy, Yung Joc, Young Dro, Young Bloodz, Lil Boosie, 112, Keisha Cole, Shawn Cole, X-scape, Ray Jay, Static Major (R.I.P.), Jarves, Khao(Grandhustle Beatmaker), Yin-Yang Twins, David Banner,Urban Mystic,and Roko are just a few. Not satisfied with the slow pace of the South, Kenakia realized that major auditions was what she definitely needed to move to the next level of her career. In 2006 she auditioned for American Idol three times. First in Memphis, Tennesse which was cancelled due to the very needed space for Hurricane Katrina evacuees. However, Kenakia ended up auditioning in Chicago Illinois, North Carolina, and Birmingham, Al. Not even dismayed by her three attempts, Kenakia followed up the next year with more auditions. In 2007, Kenakia auditioned for Beyonce’s World Wide Tour in Atlanta, Ga, and Bellarie, Texas. From there she went to Hollywood, California to one of the most sought out dance studio around- Mellinium Dance studio, where she auditioned for R/B sensation Mario’s Search for dancers. Even now Kenakia still makes time to improve one of her skills as a hip hop dancer. In January 2008, she auditioned for Chris Zondaflex who is a long time friend and former fellow dancer of Shane Sparks (judge of So U Think U Can Dance). They say it takes a lot of work to be in the music industry and Kenakia has definitely put in her share of hustling the honest way.
