Yahoo LAUNCHCAST Song Of The Day-Kem


Artist:Kem

Song:Cherish This Moment

Album:Kemistry





Kem Owens is a young R & B singer songwriter who has gotten off to a strong start in his musical career. He was born in Nashville and grew up in Detroit. Apparently he had addiction issues after graduating high school and wound up homeless and isolated from his family. Kem has said that his singing career didn't begin to take off until he connected with his spirituality and that's why he now ministers to people on stage. Kemistry was his debut CD and he wrote & produced it himself. He financed it and self released it by singing in a wedding band and waiting tables. Motown Records signed him and rereleased Kemistry in 2002. It did very well on the R & B charts and the adult oriented music charts. His second CD Album II was released in 2005 and did even better and reached #1 on the Urban Adult charts. I haven't seen any news of his next CD but Kem has a five album deal with Motown and he is out touring so I expect we'll hear more from him in the future. Here's the video for Love Calls by Kem.
