Kenton Rogers

KENTON ROGERS God's Son of Soul has Returned!
No longer a well kept secret, Kenton Rogers returns after more than a decade of absence since his last contribution to the musical tapestry and landscape of our time. Kenton has redefined himself and his music by reaching beyond the boundaries of gospel and has embraced his musical passions to arrive at a sound that is uniquely his own. If you thought you were acquainted with him, think again. This is a new and more mature Kenton, who's more certain than ever with regard to his convictions and purpose in life, and that fact resonates through his music.
With Kenton's emancipated and trans-genre approach, his premiere Urban/R&B single, "Confession of a Preacha Man", from his forthcoming project "Reality Check", is thought provoking, brilliantly profound, and already sparking conversations among the churched and the un-churched. "Confession of a Preacha Man" is destined to be the topic of discussion on many television and radio talk shows around the world. Also included on the single release is "Ridin High", where Kenton utilizes his ability to effortlessly blend soulful gospel vocals on top of a bouncing Hip Hop track. This track lyrically celebrates his survival through his trials, tribulations, and encounters with naysayers.
As a youngster, Kenton commanded the Amateur Night stage of the World Famous Apollo Theater, then hosted by The Late Ralph Cooper. His moving performance of the "The Greatest Love of All" was awarded first place; and we all know, the Apollo has been dubbed the toughest audience in the world. His gospel performances today, have only increased in intensity as he continues to prove his ability to uplift, and entertain diverse audiences around the world. For the past three years he's been a featured guest on the Jerry Lewis M.D.A. Labor Day Telethon in NewYork, hosted by Tony Orlando and Russ Salzburg, and each year he leaves the hosts, as well as studio and television viewers, inspired and in awe.
