Check 'Em Out: Kenny DeShields

THIS dude… I’m diggin’ his voice and his sound.

Kenny DeShieldsI first learned of Kenny DeShields via Twitter.  He’s just a humble guy who is committed to building folks up and encouraging the Body of Christ.

When I went to his official website, I realized that he’s also quite musically gifted!  His voice has a smooth neo-soul vibe to it, but he’s got solid churchy roots and you can hear tinges of traditional gospel throughout his music.

For your listening pleasure, I’ve added his single “I Thank Ya, Lord” to the PunditPlayer.  Click here to hear it and lemme know what you think!

Then, I want you all to check him out at http://www.KennyDeShields.com, and keep tabs on him.  I think he’s gonna do well.

Whatd’ya think???

    Kenny is the most genuine artist I've come across is years! His passion for music is only topped by his passion to honor and serve God with his whole heart. This kid is the real deal! If you've ever seen him in concert too, you know what I mean! His live performances are filled with bouts of free worship and full throttle expressions of praise and adoration. Keep up the great work and great music Kenny. The question concerning you isn't "Will you go far?" as the blog asks. - - - The real question is, "How far beyond far will you go?" Killer website too! You designer is the bomb! : )
