:::: ARTIST CREATES A "CHRISTIAN SOUL" GROOVE OF HIS VERY OWN ::::

After years of creating great music and working with some of R&B's best known names; like platinum selling Jill Scott and Sony recording artist Vivian Green, producer/writer/performer Fred David Kenney, Jr. is taking center stage with his debut release , "My Life... a Jesus Remix".

The CD's title and inspired tracks give voice to the frustration, growth and joy that Fred experienced during his "year of reflection". A period during which he took a break from every aspect of his music to see, as he puts it "what the DJ of the universe wanted me to do with the song of my life." Fred says, "this debut shows the way The Lord rearranged my priorities, my goals, even my hopes and dreams. Like changing the rhythm and bass-line to a song, He has me moving to a different groove than before."

"My Life... a Jesus Remix", carves out a unique place in today's gospel and Contemporary Christian market. A dynamic combination of songs and spoken word, this collection is most likely only the first entry in what will probably be defined as "Christian Soul" revolution. Each track echoes with the laid back R&B/nu-soul feel of Philadelphia and a gospel message set to encourage the true believer and non-believer alike.

Born and raised on the New Jersey shore and the oldest of three boys, Fred David Kenney, Jr. began cultivating that relationship with the Lord when he was just a little boy. And he's been fine-tuning that God-given skills ever since. "It all started in about the fourth grade when my parents purchased a trumpet so I could play in the grammar school band. Later a broken down piano found its way to our family and my two brothers and I started playing that as well." Future additions of guitars, drums and a keyboard prove to have paid off with all three brothers entrenched in the industry. Ben Kenney is the bass player for the platinum selling group, "Incubus" while Mike is working on tracks and scores for film.

A self proclaimed "Bible fiend", these days Fred David Kenney is staying in the word by staying in class. He is currently working through a degree in theology. "I need it like water or air. I wanted to get a more structured study of God's word so I started a degree program." The reality of Fred's relationship with Christ rings clear through every cord and melody.

In addition to his music and studies, Fred David Kenney, Jr. balances his Christian walk with his role as a devoted husband. Recently married to his "best friend", Katie, it certainly helps that she is his creative partner as well. "God has blessed me through my wife. She is more than I ever wished for. We are a true team. As a graphic designer and marketing whiz, she compliments me and does the things that I can't do."

Although Fred has walked with his Lord since youth, his debut CD is the first project done solely in the name and power of Jesus Christ. Fred plans to continue to follow the Lord's lead in all things...this being just the start of his "Christian Soul" journey in the Music for his Maker.
