KEMPO... THE ARTIST!
Dedication, hard work and the love for music is what has brought KEMPO to where he s today…."Music and performing is my life…This is what I want to do, I m in it for the long haul” His music not only reflects his hard times growing up and struggles throughout his musical career but it also mirrors the passion for what he does, MUSIC!.
KEMPO comes from a Latin American background but raised in Miami. He started his career in 1998, when he recorded his first song “Sticky Love” as a solo artist, then in late 2003 KEMPO became part of a well locally recognized duo, “Dcounty.” After an amazing number of performances, features, special appearances and song recordings as a group member, KEMPO went back to the solo artist rank. “I dont regret Dcounty breaking apart… on the contrary, Dcounty s break up brought to light the real truth about trust, loyalty and perseverance which in return taught me that no body could do me, like me.. Things happen for a reason”.
SHOWS, FEATURES AND SPECIAL EVENTS.
Now his resume is strong and impressive. Under his belt KEMPO has accumulated a large number of local and national performances. These include local clubs such as Club Oxygen, Crobar, Madhouse, Nocturnal, Pawn Shop, Club Deep, Club V.I.P, Beach Bums and many more. He has also made appearances on local T.V. shows like The Roof and Kribs.tv along with different internet shows, several community events and performances on college campuses like F.I.U and Miami Dade college.

His style could not be defined under a single musical genre, KEMPO S flow, lyrics and techniques have always been strategically arranged in order to target and attract all types crowds. With influences from all styles of music such as Louie Armstrong (Jazz era), Bone Thugs N Harmony, 50 cent, Bob Marley and others– it s hard for him to fuse only one style of music, consequently this is what makes him so acclaimed.

I m keeping low waiting for the right time, so dont sleep on KEMPO.. IM COMING!!
