About Kerry Wilkins
A smile graces Kerry's face as he reminisces about his childhood in Houston, Texas where he was born and raised. He vividly recalls the sizzling summers of backyard barbeques and get-togethers with the sounds of Hendrix, Funkadelic and Santana. As a boy, he would imagine that it was he who was on those records performing those awesome guitar licks as the euphoria swelled within him. Kerry set out to make this dream a reality by enrolling in guitar lessons at the age of 12. Kerry's giftedness would enable him to join his first band at the age of 16. The following year his high school stage band recruited him where he expanded his knowledge of chart reading and jazz chording. Displaying his abounding versatility on lead and rhythm guitar, he would go on to showcase his talent in various local funk, r&b, pop/rock, and tejano bands.

Kerry began to feel a strong inner pull and taste for contemporary jazz peppered with a bit of funk. On his quest to find that special blend, he would spend evenings checking out Houston's jazz venues. He was so captivated by the jazz vibe that he began writing and performing original funk laced jazz compositions..

Most recently, he has completed his sophomore solo project which contains eleven smooth and/or contemporary jazz cuts. His sophomore jazz cd is called "Follow My Lead" and will be released in the Summer of 2006. "Follow My Lead" has many live play songs from an incredible band which features: Larry Davis (Keyboard/Organ), Bobby Lyle (Piano), Mark Simmons (Drums), Bernard Wright (Keyboards), Kyle Turner (Saxes), Barry Jackson (Bass), and D-MAC (aka - Derrick McCampbell - Vocals).
