Kindred the Family Soul is the husband-and-wife duo of Aja Graydon and Fatin Dantzler — artists, songwriters, and proud parents whose music celebrates love, family, and resilience.
Both began their musical journeys as teenagers, with Fatin producing for Bell Biv DeVoe at 17 and Aja signing her first record deal at 14 with Delicious Vinyl. Introduced in 1997 through The Roots’ production camp, their creative chemistry evolved into partnership and marriage the following year.
After Fatin lost his day job, the couple decided to perform together, birthing Kindred the Family Soul. Their reputation grew at Philadelphia’s iconic Black Lily showcase, alongside talents like Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, and Floetry.
Their 2021 album, Auntie & Unc, served as both reflection and manifesto — a celebration of two decades of partnership, growth, and purpose. “We’re OGs in this Black Love conversation,” they say. “We’ve got wisdom to share, but life keeps teaching.”
Kindred continue to tour and inspire audiences worldwide. Their latest project, The Grand Life, released October 3, 2025, showcases their timeless soul sound with fresh energy. The single — a heartfelt remake of Frankie Beverly & Maze’s “I Need You” — has received rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
