Motown Recording Artist KEM's latest CD, Intimacy, debuted at #2 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums list in August 2010. Intimacy garnered national acclaim, including two Grammy award nominations, a Soul Train award nomination and a BET Centric Award nomination. Intimacy was officially certified gold in March 2012. After the release of Intimacy, KEM headlined his sold-out national "Intimacy Tour" with Special Guests Musiq Soulchild & Ledisi. Combined, KEM's three albums have sold in excess of 2.2 million units. KEM also made his big-screen acting debut this August, with the release of the movie, Sparkle, starring Jordin Sparks and the late Whitney Houston. Additional information, including show dates and recent news is available at musicbykem.com.

Joining KEM is El DeBarge featuring his 2010 reemergence album “Second Chance”. The acclaimed recording was released after a series of comeback performances and appearances including a well received performance at the 2010 BET Awards.
