K-ROB 
 

What do you get when you stir up soulful ingredients like hands-on experience as a soloist in his church choir; the uncle-brother influence of R&B legends The Isley Brothers mixed with a taste of Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Earth, Wind & Fire and Marvin Gaye? Add a little spice and the ability to infuse the “feel” of yesterday’s R&B with the nuances of today’s R&B/Hip Hop lyrics, you’ve got the sounds, the flava of K-ROB. K-ROB is a singer/songwriter/arranger/drummer and producer. His vocal style has been compared to Usher, Joe, Howard Hewitt, Donnell Jones, and Maxwell. 

It doesn’t hurt that K-ROB, like many of the most successful and innovative singers, from his uncles, The Isley Brothers to Bootsy Collins, hails from the Midwest. He acquired his southern roots as a graduate of Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN. At TSU, he honed his craft through a diligent work ethic, and began to mold his vocal acuity as a featured vocalist for the renowned TSU Jazz Band. K-ROB also toured the region performing in various groups and festivals. He recalls, “My college experiences enhanced my experience as a diligent and diverse lyricist.” 

His first single, “2Nite”, was a #1 Hit on various British Top 10 Charts—BBC 1Xtra & Soul 24-7 among others, and has currently charted on various DJ Record Pool charts in top USA markets. “2Nite” is currently in “rotation” and receiving radio airplay in 51 USA, major markets via The Michael Baisden Show, and has received additional airplay across other USA markets as well. “2Nite” was produced by Angelo “Lo” Ray, whose production credits include artists such as: Kevon Edmonds, “24/7”, David Banner, and Adina Howard; Other project producers include: Myron Davis, whose production credits include, Dru Hill’s “Tell Me”, and his debut, solo hit, “Destiny”; and Keith Robertson, whose songwriting/production credits include work for N-Sync, Teddy Pendergrass, and The Calloways. 

K-ROB has opened for the likes of Brian McKnight and R. Kelly, and has currently  released his debut, self-titled project.
