| Kenny G |
Kenny G sinh ra tại Ann Arbor, Michigan, và lần đầu tiên tiếp xúc với kèn saxophone khi ông nghe một người nào đó trình diễn nó tại show The Ed Sullivan Show. Sau đó, ông bắt đầu học các chơi kèn saxophone bằng cách luyện tập các bản record (phần lớn của Grover Washington, Jr.), và tìm hiểu những cung bậc âm thanh mà ông nghe được. Tại trường trung học Franklin, bang Washigton ông thất bại trong việc gia nhập một ban nhạc jazz. Năm sau, ông đã thử lần nữa, và nhờ lòng quyết tâm, ông đã chính thức gia nhập ban nhạc. Song song đó, ông cũng đã chơi trong đội golf của trường, môn thể thao mà ông đam mê từ người anh trai, Brian Gorelick, được người anh giới thiệu từ khi Kenny G được 10 tuổi.Kenneth Gorelick bắt đầu làm nhạc công khi ông chơi nhạc saxophone với Barry White, Love Unlimited Orchestra vào năm 1976 khi ông vừa tròn 20, lúc ấy ông cũng học chuyên ngành kế toán. Sau đó, ông tốt nghiệp Đại học Washington, ông chơi trong ban nhạc funk có tên là Cold, Bold & Together sau trở thành thành viên của ban nhạc The Jeff Lorber Fusion. Ông bắt đầu sự nghiệp solo sau thời gian chơi trong ban nhạc này.Trong năm 1982, Kenny G kí hợp đồng với hãng đĩa Arista Records khi có lời mời từ giám đốc của hãng, khi đó là Clive Davis. Ông đã làm khá nhiều đĩa đơn và hợp tác với các ca sĩ Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Natalie Cole, Steve Miller (which marked the only time he appeared on a rock and roll album) và Aretha Franklin. Nhạc của ông mang ảnh hưởng của Grover Washington, Jr., các album của Kenny G thường được xếp vào thể loại smooth jazz. Ông thành công hơn trước, với cả G Force và Gravity, album thứ hai và thứ ba nhận đạt danh hiệu đĩa bạch kim tại Mỹ. Những album này bán rất chạy với hơn 5 triệu bản riêng tại Mỹ. Album thứ năm, Breathless, trở thành album hòa tấu bán chạy nhất mọi thời đại, với trên 15 triệu bản tiêu thụ, riêng tại Mỹ đã là 12 triệu bản.
