Kenny Wormald

Born: July 27, 1984 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA

When I was performing on tour with Justin Timberlake, we did a show in Boston, Massachusetts at the TD Banknorth Garden. I’m from Boston, and just a few years prior to the performance, I’d been back home in my living room trying to learn JT’s choreography. To return to my hometown performing with my favorite artist in the world was amazing. It taught me that anything is possible!
