Liner Notes

In entertainment since 2007. Behind the decks since 2011.

The credits.

Written like the back of a record.

Ryan K. Hertel has been entertaining crowds since 2007, starting as a self-taught drummer before moving behind the decks in 2011.

He spent years as a nightlife manager and resident DJ across Pennsylvania, produced original music and remixes with more than 58 million streams as heyitskenton, and shared stages with DJ Pauly D, Cedric Gervais and Fetty Wap. The Steamtown Music Awards named him Electronic Act of the Year.

Today he brings that club energy to weddings and corporate events: more than 220 weddings and 700 events, with Kenton on the mic and the decks for every one.
