Bronxite Kenneth Alston Makes Broadway With His Tunes
Bronx native Kenneth Alston grew up with the bass-thumping beats of rap music resonating throughout his Soundview neighborhood, but he preferred gospel, rhythm and blues, and opera.
“As I kid, I always walked around singing,” said Alston, 30. “I’d enter talent contests at school, and while everyone else was rapping, I sang James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Bill Withers. I guess my peers didn’t like my song choices, because I’d get beat up after school, and one time I was thrown into a garbage can.”
No longer a target for bullies, the countertenor can now be found onstage at the Little Shubert Theatre on 42nd St. in Manhattan as one of the lead singers in “Three Mo Tenors.”
The three classically trained operatic tenors sing a musical repertoire of opera, gospel, show tunes, jazz, soul and new school.
