Four-time GRAMMY-nominated R&B superstar KEM, one of the most distinctive and vital voices in music is commemorating his 20th anniversary of being signed to the Motown label with two new career firsts: the release of his first book, and his first live album. He kicked-off a month long celebration with an interview and performance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” and he will appear with Tamron Hall on her Emmy Award®-winning daytime talk show “Tamron Hall Show.”

Share My Life, also the title of one of his #1 hit singles, traces KEM’s transformative journey from childhood to homelessness to internationally renowned singer-songwriter.
“Having the ability to be open and transparent about my life has not always been easy for me. I’m finally at a point where I’m at peace with who I am, I have a love-filled marriage and family life, and I’ve been able to positively impact some folks. I believe that, with the platform I hold, it’s my responsibility to share my life – my hardships & my successes – so that I might encourage & inspire others.” – KEM
ANNIVERSARY – THE LIVE ALBUM will be released on Friday, April 7, by Motown Records, KEM’s label home for 20 years – since the February 2003 release of his debut album, KEMISTRY.
