Kenya is a soulful and innovative singer/songwriter. Inspired by American singer/songwriters such as Stevie Wonder, Lalah Hathaway & Norah Jones to name a few. "Music = air" for this artist...without it, she simply doesn't breathe. Singing since the age of 8- in adolescence she was active in citywide choirs, jazz bands, show choirs, and musical theater. In college she was a member of the renowned Howard Gospel Choir at Howard University in Washington, D.C. and after college did background vocals for various independent artists. Married to spiritual partner Carl W. Johnson, II and has 2 sons, Bryant & Trey, her debut EP titled "Starting Over" is a testimony to Kenya's journey- she is returning to the gift of music after being away from the craft (having family, career as a therapist,etc.) and truly feels blessed to have this remarkable rebirth.
Lyrics
FOR ME VERSE ONE You opened the door I immediately saw that You were the one for me My heart did a dance Now I'm stuck in a trance I'm caught in the web you've spun (chorus) Reality knocks at the door But who for I hope not me You're like a dream Don't wake me up Unless when I open my eyes You have arms open wide For me, for me, for me, for me VERSE TWO You're taking me to a place That I never thought I would ever be You've got me searchin' For a love with you And it's makin' my heart feel so free (back to chorus) (bridge) You take me higher To a place that I wanna stay I can't believe your love is so sweet And only for me You're taking me higher To a place that I wanna stay (back to chorus)
