A BRIEF HISTORY OF K-G AND THE BAND

K-G and The Band was formed under the leadership of the Lead Vocalist K-G.

They call it "Afro-Urban Music". The band comprises of members from the Caribbean, Europe and Latin America. All this builds a unique sound that is only compared to a combined feel of SADE, Bob Marley, Seal,Dave Mathews band and Wyclef Jean all in one.

"It is an authentic sound"-nationalgeographic.com

"You got to see them live to believe it" -Michael Simiyu, Mtaa FM "

"An interesting Sound " -Mik Wang , Director Hip Hop Colony

"I got to say K-G got some skills "-Dj Chino, 102Jamz Orlando

"The spirited "Afro-Urban" music of KG and The Band "-Orlando Music Blog

"His energy, combined with the band's, really did have me shakin' my hips"-Alicia Lyman, Orlando CityBeat

"you get a little Afrobeat and a little soul"- Jason Ferguson and Bao Le-Huu,Orlando weekly

The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at... DAILY :)
