R & B Singer Kem Nominated for Two NAACP Image Awards

Motown Records’ rising superstar KEM is kicking off the new year with a bang – garnering accolades and two prestigious 2006 NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Male Artist and Outstanding Song for his record breaking hit “I Can’t Stop Loving You.”

The multi-talented performer will also be hitting the road on a seven week ‘Find Your Way’ Tour, named after his current hit single. The tour kicks off on February 9th in Richmond Va. KEM completed a highly successful tour this past summer in support of his hit album, and most recently released a special repackaged, dual CD/DVD offering which includes the album KEM Album II and a rare DVD featuring, among other highlights, live concert footage from KEM’s acclaimed homecoming concert in Detroit, as well as rare behind the scenes footage, bonus interviews, and an international remix of KEM’s worldwide, chart topping single.

Although the Detroit native rose to national attention with his poignant love songs, his personal story is one of victory and triumph: KEM was once homeless, struggling to support himself and his family by waiting tables and singing Top 40 cover songs for weddings. Once he got on his feet, he independently financed and released his first album before signing with Motown Records in 2002.

The two NAACP Image Award nods are a first for KEM. The 37th Annual NAACP Image Awards, for achievements by African Americans in movies, television, music and literature will be presented on February 25th in Los Angeles, with the ceremony airing on Fox on March 3rd.
