With over 50 years of making booties shake, KC and The Sunshine Band have not only given a voice to a generation but have helped define an entire culture that continues to make an impact today. Led by the charismatic Harry Wayne “KC” Casey, the group has been in a perpetual state of renewal, maintaining cultural relevancy through their music featured in motion picture soundtracks, television shows, and national advertising campaigns.
Formed in 1973 with the sole purpose of creating instant happiness through music, KC and The Sunshine Band have accomplished just that and more. The group has topped charts with unforgettable singles such as “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Get Down Tonight,” and “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty,” accumulating worldwide sales of over 100 million and receiving numerous awards.
In recognition of their unparalleled contributions to the music industry, KC was honored with two distinct Lifetime Achievement Awards in 2013. This achievement was complemented by several television appearances and the addition of a new star on the Palm Springs Walk of Fame in Florida, alongside a previously awarded national recognition of a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.

His dedication and passion led him to sign a contract with TK in 1973, giving birth to the phenomenon known as KC and The Sunshine Band. Their unique fusion of Caribbean, R&B, and funk music, famously dubbed the “Miami sound,” captured the hearts and minds of listeners, compelling them to hit the dance floor.
