How did it all start? 

Born in southern Indiana, Kehan grew up on a farm milking cows, weeding gardens, catching fireflies and singing harmonies with his seven brothers and sisters. As a toddler, his favorite pastime was to run outside and play in the rain… especially in thunderstorms. His grandmother had told him that the heavens were playing a symphony with big drums, and Kehan found it thrilling to be surrounded by the music of the gods. At the tender age of three, his father sat him in front of the television set (well past his bedtime) to watch an airing of Singin’ In The Rain. Kehan was transfixed. It is recorded in his mother’s journal that when the movie ended, he pointed to the screen and said, “That me.”  His  mother and father thought he was referring to playing and dancing in the the rain. Little Kehan knew otherwise. 

After starting dance and piano lessons, he made his first television appearance at the age of 5 on T Bar V, a local Louisville television show starring Randy Atcher & Cactus Tom Brooks. Kehan was chosen to play the musical triangle to accompany Randy singing and playing guitar. To say he was bitten by the bug is a drastic understatement... 

And that was just the beginning.

where he also danced with the Dayton Ballet Company,
