  • Bonjour Aujourd'hui Nous Recevons Anita Thomas
    Portrait d’artiste : Kenny Cheyney http://www.kennychesney.com/home.php enneth Arnold (Kenny) Chesney est né le 26 Mars 1968, à Knoxville (Tennessee), mais il passe toute son enfance, à quelques pas de là, à Luttrell. K Son père David, est professeur dans une école primaire et sa mère Karen tient un salon de coiffure. David et Karen ont également une fille, Jennifer, qui est plus jeune. Ses parents divorceront plus tard. A 19 ans Kenny reçoit sa première guitare à Noël. En à peine trois mois, il apprend à jouer la célèbre chanson des Eagles : "Tequila Sunrise", qui lui donne véritablement le goût pour la musique. En 1990, Kenny sort diplômé de la East Tennessee State University de Johnson City (Tennessee) dans une section marketing. Il fait aussi partie de l'équipe de football de l'université, où il occupe le poste de quarterback. Mais c'est bien vers la musique que le jeune Kenny va se tourner ! Tout d'abord en jouant dans des bars de la région de Johnson City, avec pour musiciens des amis qu'il a rencontrés à l'université. Ceux-ci sont d'ailleurs devenus par la suite les musiciens de la chanteuse bluegrass Alisson Krauss. En 1991, Kenny enregistre son premier album, à Bristol en Virginie. Celui-ci se vendra à un millier d'exemplaires, ce qui lui permettra tout de même de s'acheter sa première "vraie" guitare : une Martin. L'année suivante, il décroche un contrat avec la maison de disques Nashville BMI. Cependant c'est sur un label indépendant, Capricorn Records, que sort le premier album grand public de Kenny, ‘’In My Wildest Dreams’’ qui sera vendu à 10 000 exemplaires.
