Kenneth J, a native New Yorker who now resides in Atlanta, Ga., is a premier Heartprints songwriter and author whose recent debut of his first book capsulate some of his most endearing memoirs in the form of poetry.

Kenneth J has the innate gift of painting pictures with words. He is a poet and songwriter in the truest sense of those words, comparable to the legendary Smokey Robinson. Writing songs’ that employ visionary schematics, one can visualize everything that takes place in the heart of Kenneth J. His sensitivity allows him to work autobiographically. The ease with which he composes is reflected in his songs’ lack of self consciousness, the fact that, while his lyrics do touch the very core of the soul, Kenneth J’s great gift remains simple sincerity. He has a peculiar genius for using similes and metaphors to express the sentiments that most people have a hard time conveying. Through his music he is a spokesman for many. As with the song, “The Ride” one can’t tell if he is speaking about a car or the intimacy shared between a man and woman. It’s raw and filled w/innuendo’s that ooze sensuality and eroticism. Brilliantly done and radio friendly. “B.M.W.”, an acronym for black man working, is a song in honor of all the single, independent, successful women who find themselves alone in search of a B.M.W. to cruise down Love’s Boulevard to Passion Avenue. Lastly the song, “If I Was….” explores the notion of being body parts (i.e. eyes, lips, arms, heart) and what he would do if he was any particular body part of hers.

He is a force to be reckoned with in the coming years because he is a songwriter whose creative spirit captures the essence of heart. Kenneth J says it best when he says, “All that I am doing is an expression of self. You have to do what you do the very best that you can do it and not worry about what people think. I become one with everything by becoming one with myself and by doing that I make the ordinary extraordinary—which is only being creative.”
