Lyfe Jennings

Lyfe Jennings (born Chester Bamsu Jennings on June 3, 1973) is a platinum-selling American R&B and soul singer-songwriter, record producer, and instrumentalist. He plays the guitar, bass and piano of all which he integrates into his music. The New York Times has referred to him as a "socially minded R&B singer".

Lyfe went to prison at the age of 19 for committing arson. As Jennings refers to many times in his music, he turned his life around while in jail. There, Jennings continued to write music and rekindle his faith in God. Jennings served a little over 10 years behind bars. Upon his December 2002 release he began seriously pursuing his solo career. He spent his second day of freedom recording a four-song CD and the third day performing at a club. By January 2003, Lyfe had showcased his talent to a nation-wide audience on "Showtime In Harlem" (The Apollo). He received a standing ovation for his acoustic performance of original material, and made his mark by winning the amateur competition five times.

Soon after the success at the Apollo, The Ohio native move to NYC to make his dream come true. He wrote and co-produced a song for a major label, made a cameo in a music video, appeared in publications and performed many solo shows and opening acts for major recording artists, including the most memorable opener in front of a sold out crowd at Radio City Music Hall for Hip-Hop star Nelly, and his spontaneous serenade to New Yorkers during the October 14th blackout at The Cafeteria in Chelsea.

Other noteworthy venues and events include 2003 NBA All-Star events, NAACP Convention where he performed "Thank God for the NAACP" (an anthem he wrote for the organization), world famous B.B. King's Lounge & Grill, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Tennessee State University and a host of clubs and schools.

After much success with his debut, Lyfe begin to work on his second album. The anticipation of his new album led to many TV appearances, including Good Morning America. Lyfe's upcoming fourth studio album, "I Still Believe" (previously titled Sooner or Later) will be released August 31, 2010. The first song from the album is entitled "Busy." The second single lifted from the album is called "Statistics."
