Ken Jameson
Ken Jameson is a pianist, singer/songwriter and producer from Miami, FL. He has spent many years playing everything from jazz to reggae. Ken's years of performing in South Florida, and as a graduate of the University of Miami, School of Music, made him one of the most sought after keyboard players in town. Now he is turning all of his talent and energy on his own music.
After moving to New Orleans, LA in 2002, Ken was captivated by The Big Easy and its vibrant music community. Inspired by the incredible musicians he was fortunate enough to play with; he began to record his own music. "It's Your Life" was recorded with some of the best musicians New Orleans has. The CD had just been sent out for pressing, days before Ken decided to leave his home, and get his family to safety, from the impending hurricane. Days later, with his neighborhood, Lakeview, underwater and no home to return to, Ken took his family back to their home state of Florida and is launching his singer/songwriting career form there.
Ken's music is a fusion of all of the great music he has been exposed to throughout his life. He unites his serious keyboard prowess, poetic lyrics, and innovative use of harmony to create a unique and exciting new sound.
Imagine all of the best piano chops of Bruce Hornsby, blended with the harmonic palette of Sting and Peter Gabriel, combined with the energy of Seal and the musicianship of Toto. This is what Ken Jameson's music has been compared to.
Ken's CD, “It’s Your Life”, reflects his versatility as a musician. In addition to doing all of the producing, writing, singing, programming, and keyboards on his album, he also wrote all of the horn arrangements.
"It's Your Life" is a compilation of all his years of living, traveling and writing. Each song reflects events that have happened in Ken's life. It is an auto-biographical journey through heart breaks and triumphs; from the loneliness of a musician's life to the joy of marriage and fatherhood.
From the rocking feel of the title track, "It's Your Life"; to the sexy, futuristic sound of "Infinity"; to the Brazilian flavored, "It's Out There"; and the burning bluesy sound of, "One More Thing", this album is packed with a multitude of styles that blend harmoniously to create a fresh sound. Only Ken Jameson can impart such a unique approach to songwriting.
