About Kenny Dope

Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez (born June 7, 1970) is an American dance musician. He is also one half of the Masters at Work musical production team with Little Louie Vega. Gonzales started his DJ career in 1985 organizing neighborhood block parties in his home of Brooklyn, New York, with his then musical partner, Mike Delgado. Under the Masters at Work moniker, the parties became quite successful and attracted Todd Terry who later borrowed the group's name for two record releases. Terry returned the favor at a later date when he loaned Gonzalez a drum machine, which began his interest in producing beats.
