On behalf of Grhyme Music / Lyfe Lyne Productions, I welcome you. My debut album titled, "The Introduction Of..." will be out October of this year. Be on the lookout for my first single "From, The Streets" produced by Toksik of the Beat Society. For more info go visit my official website www.kenwilmusic.net. Peace.Band/artist history
Born in the infamous city of Gary, IN, Ken has always had his ear to some of the most creative and influential music. He grew up listening to John Coltrane, Miles Davis, the Temptations, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, and some of his favorite emcees ranging from Rakim, KRS-One, Slick Rick, Chuck D, C.L. Smooth and others. He first got his inspiration to pick up a pen from being around his mother, who was an English teacher. Then it was his oldest sister who was the person to encourage him to do hip-hop. Ken has always been a person to try new things found ways to speak through his music by being involved with the situations of the streets. Daily he end the day with entries of what he learned and seen in the streets. Soon this became another influence for Ken. His career did not start until he recorded his first cd, which was in 1998 under the independent label based in Gary titled Gate Keeperz Records. Then after a few months Ken decided to leave them and do a few projects with long time friends and group members Rec and Quon Logic. These projects up until this date are called some of Ken's best work cause of the music's uniqueness and clever wordplay and street wise lyrics. At that time Ken went under the alias of "Braveheart" and the group (which featured three other members as well as Rec) was called "The Sins of Men". The group has never recorded a full album but do have about six songs under the name of "The Sins of Men" and three mixtapes as The Grhyme (which is the group's current name). From 1998 to 2004, Ken has 2 unreleased projects and 3 never to be released projects, 1 defunct project, and 7 mixtapes that he is either featured on or that are his. Ken is currently working on his long-awaited debut album titled, "The Introduction Of...", which will be released October of this year. The album will feature some of the finest production the Beat Society has to offer and ex-Grhyme member Rec. With guest appearances from Quon Logic, Omega, Rock, Jazz Cazz and a special suprise guest. For more info on Ken Wil or the Grhyme or artists the Grhyme is associated with, or music, or the full version of Ken's biography visit his official website www.kenwilmusic.netHave you performed in front of an audience?Since I am currently working on my debut album I am currently not touring yet. But I do have plans to perform in New York, Connecticut, and (if money is right) Overseas.
Your musical influences
Personally I say the three most important influences are God, my mom, and yours truly, Ken Wil. But my other influences range from Hip-Hop to Jazz greats such as, KRS-One, Rakim, EPMD, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Common, MF Doom, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Bobby Humphrey and honestly my list of Jazz greats could go on.What equipment do you use?
Well since I am also a member of a jazz band I started I might as well tell you what instruments we got (so far). We got me on the drums, my manz Ovi on the guitar, my manz Dwayne on the beatbox, and my brother Nate on the sax. I'm currently looking for a piano player, a flute player, and a bass player so we can get started on this jazz tribute album.Anything else?
The songs I got posted here are not my singles. They are just some songs I recorded just for the sake of. They are going on my Sampler and my Unofficial Mixtape. Enjoy and again visit my official website www.kenwilmusic.net and come October go get my debut album thats guaranteed to be a "classic" (as stated by random fans and peoples on the streets), "The Introduction Of...". Peace To All.
