episode 013: Kenny MacIntyre

There is no one quite like Kenny MacIntyre. The former national culture manager for Red Bull Canada and founder of Red Bull Thre3Style, the world’s largest DJ competition, he is a mine of creative ideas, and always in perpetual motion.

Kenny grew up out east in Sudbury, Ontario, with his mom, dad, and brother. His love for music and sound came at a young age, listening to records with his dad and discovering new music during his teenage years - something he continues to do now. Having watched his father battle mental illness, he’s as compassionate and empathetic as he is brilliant.

In this conversation, we deep dive into music that influenced him, how Red Bull Thre3Style was an experiment that turned into something much bigger, his pivot toward more self-care and alternative healing this past year, a coming-soon project called Play the 19th, and much more.
