Kenneth Tan Ronquillo is a Filipino-Chinese-Emo-American from San Jose, California. He’s also a Public Health grad student at UC Berkeley, but after school, the glasses come off and he’s a one-man boy band. Between midterms, he wrote and recorded “Check Your Signal” entirely by himself in the closet of his studio apartment. Fans and friends can follow Kenneth’s musical adventures at http://www.facebook.com/musicbykenneth.


The “Check Your Signal” music video was filmed by Huy Vu, and features styling by Annie Wang and choreography by Lee Pazmino (who danced with up-and-coming recording artist Justin Timberlake).
