Kenneth Benson, widely known as KBThaBandhead, joins the HBCU Sports Podcast with Kenn Rashad to discuss how a childhood love for HBCU band culture led him to build a growing digital platform dedicated to showcasing the sights and sounds of Black college bands.
A former Texas Southern student and band member, Benson reflects on his early influences—including the movie Drumline and the State Fair, featuring Grambling and Prairie View at the Texas State Fair—and how those experiences helped shape his creative journey.
In this episode, he shares what inspired him to launch his YouTube reaction channel, his challenges as a content creator, and why he believes HBCU athletics and band culture are headed in the right direction.
