Biography
A BRIEF HISTORY OF K-G AND THE BAND
K-G and The Band was formed under the leadership of the Lead Vocalist K-G. K-G Originally from East Africa, a US immigrant formed the band under the vision of diversity in Music and Culture; hence the band's sound is so unique that it has its own brand name. They call it "Afro-Urban Music". The band comprises of members from the Caribbean, Europe and Latin America. All this builds a unique sound that is only compared to a combined feel of SADE, Bob Marley, Seal, Dave Mathew's band and Wyclef Jean all in one. Currently doing major shows locally and nationwide.
