INTRODUCING SPECIAL GUEST HEADLINER…
Kenya Soulsinger With
a smooth mix of R&B, Jazz, Funk and Soul, singer-songwriter Kenya
Soulsinger uses her sensual alto and haunting falsetto to tell stories
of life, love, joy and pain. Music has always had a huge influence in
her life...from high school and college bands and choirs, to a
successful run with gospel recording group 'Set Aside', Kenya's love for
music, especially Soul Music led to the recording of her debut album
'Groovy Way' released in Aug 2011. In 2013, Kenya made her way across
the pond to the UK. In the midst of soaking up the musical culture of
London, KSS was honored to be the guest of honor for a meet and greet
and CD signing at the historic Soul Brother Records.
