Everything you need to know about Kesington Kross is in his music. Born in the city of dreams, Los Angeles, California, Kesington Kross is a singer, songwriter, and musician, whose family circumstances have given him an interesting perspective on life. The result is a fresh sound that breaks traditional genres molds and encompasses a melodically inventive, synth-driven amalgam of pop, R&B, electro-funk, soul, and New Wave that manages to be both retro-inspired and futuristic. From the East Indian influenced "Arabian Paradise" to the 80's nostalgia of "Gimme Your Love," the 5 songs on his introductory EP, Audio Justice, cover a mélange of musical territory. It’s a testament that Kesington Kross is a brave artist with something to say.
Spending the first half of his life in Orange County, Kesington Kross' family suffered a setback, causing his mother to uproot and relocate the family to Compton. Kesington Kross had to quickly adjust to the culture shock of going from one extreme to the next and soon came to welcome the transition, taking it as an opportunity to experience a new culture. "I like to reflect on real life not just what is politically correct." The wide disparity in haves and have-nots, in race, and in culture, fueled Kesington Kross' imagination and became the context to his music. “I began to create a fantasy life to get through my reality. I was always artsy. There wasn’t a time when I wasn’t singing. I also liked to paint and sculpt. Maybe it was a defense mechanism, but I started to interpret life as art. It helped me cope during that time.”
