Kem Biography
Nashville-born and Detroit-raised singer, songwriter, and producer KEM has ascended to find himself among the greats on Motown’s marquee of history, where his redemptive, hook-laden music—a deft fusion of R&B and Jazz—sparkles beneath distinctively soothing vocals that have been compared to those of legendary artists Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye. KEM remains one of the most cherished, vibrant and vital voices in 21st century R&B. His catalog comprises soul stirring classics such as the gold-certified Kemistry [2003], the platinum-certified Album II [2005], and the gold-certified Intimacy: Album III [2010]. Meanwhile, Promise To Love [2014] marked his second #1 debut on the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart and third consecutive Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200. He has sold out shows worldwide and garnered hundreds of millions of streams. He reached another critical milestone with 2020’s Love Always Wins, setting the stage for the continued elevation of his musical footprint. www.musicbykem.com / Socials: @MusicByKEM
