Biografía de Kem

Kim Owens, professionally known as KEM, is a R&B/soul singer, songwriter, and producer from Detroit, Michigan who has been active as a musician since 2001.

Kem's beginnings in music could be described as something of a necessity as opposed to a choice. After he graduated high school, the artist was forced to deal with homelessness, addiction, and isolation from his family at a young age. He has stated that:''My career didn't take off until I connected with my spirituality''.

His debut album 'Kemistry' was released in February 2003 and broke into the US top 100. It wasn't until the follow-up album aptly titled 'Album II' was released in May 2005 that Owens achieved commercial success. This album features an Urban Charts #20 hit in the form of single 'I Can't Stop Loving You' and a duet with the legendary Stevie Wonder on a track titled 'You Might Win'. It now holds a platinum selling certificate in the States.

His next album 'Intimacy: Album III' came five years later and peaked at #2 on the US Billboard, his highest position to date whilst 'Promise To Love' which came out in 2014 hit #3. The latter did however top the US R & B chart upon release. In 2011 Kem received two nominations at the 53rd Grammy Awards for Best R&B Male Performance and Best R&B Song for 'Why Would You Stay'.

Críticas en vivo

Kim Ownes, aka Kem, is a R&B artist who I have been following since the very beginning of his career back in 2001. It’s interesting and exciting to see how his songwriting has changed and evolved over the years, into some even more incredible music than the tracks he started out with. From humble beginnings and a stint of living on the streets, Kem has come an incredibly long way since leaving high school. His story is admirable, and he thanks his audience without fail for the support he’s received every time he plays a show.
Seeing him live was incredible. I wasn’t sure what to expect as the concert wasn’t album specific, and he’s released for full length studio albums, so I didn’t know how he would select his set list! He did an awesome job though, playing tracks from almost every album, as well as playing most of his successful singles.
He was great at interacting with his audience, and getting everyone to sing along with the well known tracks. He called everyone forward closer to the stage, and had us all dancing to his soulful beats, completely immersed in the entire show. It was an incredible performance. I’ll definitely be back!
