MOTOWN RECORDING ARTIST, KEM, ANNOUNCES SOUTHEAST FALL TOUR AND ADDS HIS BACKGROUND VOCALIST TO THE LINEUP

DETROIT R&B/SOUL VOCALIST L RENEE SIGNS TO ‘KEMISTRY RECORDS’ LABEL AND ASSIGNED TO KEM’S UPCOMING SOUTHEAST FALL TOUR LINE UP

For Immediate Release

(October 31, 2014 – Detroit, MI) – Motown Recording Artist KEM, signs his background vocalist and performance duetist to his independent record label, Kemistry Records and adds her to upcoming tour featuring performing artist Joe.

L Renee, one of Detroit’s most powerful and unforgettable voices, arrived on the music scene in 2005, and has held a strong presence on the local music scene ever since. The Detroit native has written more than 40 songs and has produced and independently released seven albums. She has performed alongside Motown Artist KEM as a background vocalist since 2010, and as a result, has shared the stage with Jill Scott, Trey Songz, Mary J. Blige, Fantasia, Dwele, Ledisi, Marsha Ambrosius (earlier this week at The Shrine Chicago, IL) and Gladys Knight to name a few.

Earlier this year, L Renee was signed to a recording contract with Kemistry Records, the independent label owned by Motown Recording Artist, KEM. L Renee, who regularly performs with KEM as a background vocalist and performance duetist, is the first artist signed to his label. GLOW, her first album on the Kemistry Records label, is scheduled for release in 2015.

Prior to signing with the Motown label in 2001, KEM started his Kemistry Records label as a vehicle to produce and distribute his own music.

“Running a record label was not something I had interest in, and I had no intention of signing anyone to Kemistry Records…until I met L Renee,” said KEM. “She has one of those special voices, and has an abundance of natural talent and ability as an R&B vocalist. She has the talent to become one of the best female R&B singers of our time. I believe in her so much that I added her first single, “Don’t Say Goodbye,” to the Deluxe edition of my newest album, PROMISE TO LOVE.”

“It’s a dream come true to be signed to a record label owned by such an accomplished artist as KEM,” saidL Renee. “His influence and mentorship as an artist and a performer is invaluable, and I’m thankful and honored to have the chance to work with him and his team.”

This November, L Renee will perform as the opening act on KEM’s eight-city “Promise To Love Tour – Part 1” with special guest, Joe. The tour begins on November 14 at Ft. Lauderdale’s Broward Center. Tickets are on sale today at ticketmaster.com.
