Blazin A Trail podcast welcomes Kenny Barz to the studio! Kenny Beaufort is a proud father, entrepreneur, artist, owner of Small City Big Dreams Label, and a veteran. Our host and Kenny speak about his past from moving from state to state experiencing different cultures. They discuss why he created his own label rather than signing to a label that discovered him. They talk about his artistry with songwriting, and then they transition into giving tips to starting rappers. More topics that are covered: Spotify placements, local beefs with artists, being a thespian, armed forces, and his family life! Join us as we BLAZE A TRAIL!
