You’ll find out what Ledisi and J. Holiday have in common when it comes to Kyonte' and you’ll be interested to know if crooning to the ladies has helped him out in the love department.

SoulTrain.com: Thank you for taking the time to talk with Soul Train. You’ve been one busy man. Tell us about some of the things you’ve been doing just in the last six months. I know in the past year, you’ve won a ton of awards and attention and you’ve also done some traveling with Raheem Devaughn. Give us an update about what’s been going on in your world.

Kyonte': First off, thanks for having me! Lately, I’ve been in the studio working on music for my next two projects as well as traveling working with various artists.

SoulTrain.com: People may not realize it, but, in addition to touring with him, you co-produced Raheem Devaughn’s hit “Woman”, which was nominated for a Grammy. Tell us a little about your role as a producer and some other artists you’ve worked with.

Kyonte': As a producer, I mainly feel that its my job to push everyone around me to the limit and beyond. Whether it’s musically or personally, I enjoy working with people that give me that energy in return.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE- KYONTE' ON FOX 5 DC

DC’s Hottest R&B Artist Kyonté LIVE
on Fox 5 DC Morning Show February 18, 2011


Washington, D.C. (February 9, 2011) – DC’s hottest R&B Artist Kyonté live on Fox 5 DC Morning Show February 18, 2011. Tune in to WTTG between 9:00am and 10:00am for an interview and live performance by Kyonté. Kyonté is a nominee of the Washington Area Music Association’s 25th Annual “Wammie” Awards and will be competing for Urban Contemporary Vocalist and Urban Contemporary Recording.

His current CD project 831 Vol: 1 “What’s That Sound?” is available on Kyonté.com, iTunes and many other sites. This pristine package of love allows the listener to invade, quietly peeking inside the mind and world of Kyonté. According to Kyonté, love is ambiguous, and his work as depicted in 831, captures the various aspects of love. Hey Baby is a personal favorite but What’s That Sound, Do That Thing You Do, So In Love With You, Body Shop and Change all keep one pressing repeat. So In Love With You is a timeless hit. That song will be played and sang by other artists 50 years from now. You know it’s good when you refuse to let the changer go to the next CD. Kyontѐ’s music is like a drug, once you hear it, you’ll be hooked.

Kyonté is a seasoned emerging artist with exposure around the international music scene. A singer, songwriter, producer, musician, and well rounded entertainer, he is well on his way to becoming a national icon of American music. We would be remised if we did not include a few of his many accolades and career highlights. His most recent production work include Grammy award winning E1 Music recording artist Faith Evans (2010 Something About Faith CD) song titles "Way You Move", "Worth It" and "Your Lover", Grammy nominated Verve recording artist Ledisi (2009 Turn Me Loose CD) song titles "Everything Changes" and "Trippin", and Grammy nominated Jive recording artist Raheem DeVaughn (song titled "Woman") which he co-produced with super producer Chucky Thompson.

Kyonté recently completed a European tour as a background vocalist with Jive recording artist Raheem DeVaughn, a USO European Tour, the 2010 Budweiser Superfest tour in the U.S. and continues to perform as a background vocalist with Raheem.
