Kem Owens (born July 23, 1969 in Nashville, Tennessee), professionally known as Kem, is an American R&B/soul singer, songwriter, and producer. He was raised in Detroit, Michigan. After finishing high school, Kem dealt with homelessness, addiction, and isolation from his family. He was caught shoplifting beer from 7-11. Kem did not overcome these issues until he turned to spirituality and music, as he has said, “My career didn’t take off until I connected with my spirituality.

That’s why I take time on stage and on the album to
administer spirituality to people. That’s one of the things that I am most proud of.
Kem has said that he does not create music marketed to the mainstream hip-hop-dominat- ed R&B crowd but to people who enjoy his soul/jazz adult contemporary sound and lyrical content. He wrote, produced, and financed his self-released debut album, Kemistry, with his American Express and singing top 40 cover tunes in a
wedding band and waiting tables.
He was later signed by Motown Records in November 2001, who re-released the album on February 25, 2002, and sold more than 500,000 copies nationwide. The album’s first single, “Love Calls”, became a hit at urban adult
contemporary and smooth jazz radio, and USA Today pegged it early on as a “Motown clas- sic.” His debut went gold-plus.
