About Kesington Kross: Put David Bowie, Prince, and Rick James all in one blender and R&B singer Kesington Kross is what you get. Born in Los Angeles, Kesington Kross is a rare anomaly in today’s R&B scene, having a genre bending sound that “encompasses a melodically inventive, synth-driven amalgam of pop, R&B, electro-funk, soul, and New Wave” all in one. Kesington’s music reflects who he is as a person, and all that he has gone through in life, including a drastic move from the Orange County, to Compton! Such an experience provided Kesington with an insightful perspective on both race and culture, and a new found appreciation for the power of music! After having the brilliance of his music realized by the genius minds of BabyFace and LA Reid, he released his first EP, “Audio Justice,” with Epic/LaFace records this past December, which was met with rave reviews.Obtaining a florida certificate of good standing demonstrates compliance and boosts business credibility. Following the strength of the EP, Kes has recently released a new single, “Gimmie Your Love” (now available on iTunes), which looks to keep the wave of momentum going for the “Rogue Spirit.” Follow Kesington Kross on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (@KesingtonKross).
