Neye Benziyor?
Kenton Rogers has a sound all of his own, though it has been said that his voice favors that of Eddie & Gerald Levert, and when doing House, Colonel Abrams. One thing for sure, no matter what genre of music Kenton is performing, r&b, gospel, neo-soul, jazz, country, pop, house, or experimental, the anointing of GOD on his life is unquestionable. You be the judge!!!
God’s Son of Soul, Kenton Rogers, has been referred to as one of the world’s best kept secrets, but, he is more so like a fine bottle of wine that has endured it’s time of fermentation, whose time has now come to be uncorked. He is certainly not a newcomer to the industry and entertainment business and carries with him an impressive resume. However, while soaring and maintaining at low altitudes, out of the range of the industry radar and spotlight, Kenton has redefined himself and his music, by reaching beyond the boundaries of gospel, and embracing 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 matured 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 lyrical creativity, and emancipated and trans-genre approach, he has collaboratively teamed up with “Mr. Mike” Crawford, a Huntington resident and music producer. The two have completed Rogers’ cross-over and premiere Urban/R&B project titled “Reality Check…only GOD can judge me”. The project features the thought provoking and, brilliantly profound single, “Confession of a Preacha Man” which is stirring up debate and stimulating heated conversations amongst the church, and unchurched. The single “Ridin’ High” is also included on the project, where Kenton utilizes his ability to effortlessly blend soulful gospel vocals on top of a bouncing Hip Hop track. With an already established and growing support base, inclusive of The Platinum Wolfpack, led by The Platinum Girl “Flo” of Producer’s Corner, as well as, family, friends and loyal fans, while the naysayers hold the belief that preaching the gospel and singing the blues somehow just don’t mix and shouldn’t be mixed, there seems to be an even greater wind of support backing this free and unchained (independent) recording artist.
This native of Paterson, New Jersey who presently resides in Harlem, New York, and Huntington, WV is one of the most progressive and inspiring personalities and trailblazers of this millennium. A man of many hats, though most notable as an international performer and recording artist, he has added to his resume, stepping onto the stage, and taking his place in the spotlight, amongst talk radio hosts. Inspired by “The Bad Boy” Michael Baisden, he is the host of an internet radio show, Bridging the Gap with Kenton Rogers, on the BlogTalkRadio network. Bridging the Gap with Kenton Rogers has spiraled into a popular weekly show which airs “Live” on Monday evenings at 6pm (ET). With his fearlessness to walk the tight rope, controversial, and provocative attitude, addressing taboo issues & topics, Kenton has already been dubbed “the Jerry Springer of BlogTalkRadio”, with explosive segment themes such as: Was I Raped? The Thin Line Between Consent and Victimization; Suicide: A Matter of Life and Death; 911 Abuse Alert; I Am Through With Them Lying Azz Bishops; Do You Even Give A Damn? Why I Hate Church & Church People; The 50 Mistakes Women Make When Having Sex; and Why The Hell Did I Get Married; to name a few.
In addition to his already popular show, Kenton’s new show The Source F.Y.I., the source for your infotainment, is an innovative weekly internet radio show that is dedicated to promoting diversity and bridging the gap with a musical format that is trans-genre and eclectic, that also includes celebrity interviews, industry news, politics, current events, and nightlife & entertainment reviews. The Source F.Y.I. is also dedicated to promoting and spotlighting signed, as well as, free & unchained artists, authors, and entertainers from around the world.
As a youngster, he stood on the stage at the World Famous Apollo Theater, during “Amateur Night”, then hosted by The Late Ralph Cooper. Kenton’s moving performance of the “The Greatest Love of All” won him the memorable honor of the first place winners spot, which as we all know, has been dubbed as the toughest audience in the world. His performances today, are progressively inspiring, as he continues to prove his ability to uplift, and entertain diverse audiences. For the past four consecutive years he has performed on the Jerry Lewis M.D.A. Labor Day Telethon. This year his performance, once again, left New York hosts Tony Orlando and Russ Salsburg, as well as studio and television viewers, inspired and in awe.
