Kenny Burns & SAINTPRANA on Closer, Killing the Algorithm, and Turks and Caicos as their Second Home | Talkin' Turks Ep. 2

Kenny Burns and SAINTPRANA join native Turks and Caicos Islanders and hosts of Talkin’ Turks, Gabriel Saunders and Quinn Higgs, for an unfiltered conversation about music, mindset, and legacy. They open up about family, creativity, and how the Turks and Caicos Islands became their second home — from spiritual connections to Grace Bay, to family trips to Turks and Caicos with Ludacris. Kenny shares why he says it’s time to “kill the algorithm,” reflecting on culture, independence, and the importance of reclaiming authenticity in a world chasing clout. The two discuss music’s power to heal, the meaning behind SAINTPRANA’s name and artistry, and how father and son are working together to reset the narrative — one generation teaching the next while learning from each other. There’s even talk of Prince, whom Kenny calls his “father,” and why his legacy continues to inspire him today.
