Kenny McWilliams has been playing music in one form or another for the past 20+ years. Helping form his own band at the age of 16; he started pursuing music as a career. A few years later his brand new band, Baumer, received label attention and landed a record deal with Eyeball Records. For the next five years, he and his bandmates toured the country and had success with two full length records that received national attention. During this time, he began pursuing a career in recording and producing and started Archer Avenue Studio. When Baumer broke up in 2008, Kenny was able to focus entirely on helping others make records and growing his business. Archer Avenue Studio is located in Columbia, South Carolina and has quickly become one of the best recording studios in the Southeast.
In 2017 Kenny started a new project called Real Work, where he sings and plays guitar. The band has received quick praise for their huge sound and energetic live shows. They have released 2 EP's and 2 music videos.
Over the last 18 years Kenny has helped a diverse group of bands and solo artists across the Southeast produce records that highlight their strengths and individualities as musicians. What began as an interest in production and sound engineering has now turned into a professionally outfitted studio that is proud to host some of the most talented artists in the region. Kenny strives to retain the artistic integrity of each of his clients while also experimenting with new approaches and techniques to the recording process. He is a multi-instrumentalist and enjoys collaborating with each artist on musical concepts, offering a wide range of production options, and taking the time to find out what kind of recording process will best suit the project at hand. His hard work and natural creativity, paired with an easy going personality, have made him a first choice producer for countless bands in the region.
