Kenny G's trademark jazz/rhythm and blues/pop and funk places him in the rarified stratosphere experienced by few artists.

Kenny G's first job as sax soloist was for Barry White, during a performance in his hometown of Seattle. Kenny was just 17 years old.

Five years later, Kenny Gorelick joined Jeff Lorber's band and toured the USA for the first time. Kenny G's eponymous debut was recorded in 1982. He followed with G-Force (1983) and Gravity( 1985).

Then Kenny G's fortunes would change forever. On his fourth album, Duotones, Kenny played all of the instruments on the first single, "Songbird" and it went to # 4 on the Billboard Pop Chart. Silhouette, Kenny's fifth album, produced the mega-smash "Silhouette" and went multi-platinum.

Kenny wrapped up the '80s with his sixth and only double album to date, Kenny G Live, which went triple-platinum.

Breathless broke chart and sales records. The album set a record by staying # 1 on the Contemporary Jazz Chart for over 100 weeks and made history by becoming the # 1 Instrumental Album of all time and propelling Kenny G into the superstar universe with the #1 Instrumentalist of all time. The single, "Forever In Love" from the album earned him a Grammy Award.

Kenny G has pioneered his career with his distinctive "sax sound" which blossomed into # 1 albums, # 1 singles, Grammy, Billboard and American Music Awards, sold-out tours and eventually re-writing chart history. His accomplishments are impressive by any artist standards; many are unprecedented by any other instrumentalist.
