Grace Askew’s sound weaves through the backroads of the South and West right into the back alleys of New York and LA. Born in Memphis, she was raised on Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley; dug into her blues, soul, and folk roots in New Orleans; maintains inspiration from artists like Tom Waits, Mahalia Jackson, Sylvan Esso, and Cat Power; and now layers in the textures of synths, electric guitar, and vocal loops to create music that defies place or genre.

Spin calls her "astoundingly defiant." Rolling Stone calls her "sultry" while praising her "raw, real and righteous" songwriting.

With 6 studio albums and nearly a decade of touring under her belt, Grace has solidified herself as a relentlessly creative artist and a powerhouse of talent. She cut her first records at the legendary Ardent Studios & Sun Studios in Memphis, and has been a regular on the singer-songwriter circuit. She mostly hits the road accompanied only by her truck, Wanda, though she has also joined the likes of James McMurtry, Leon Russell, Marty Stuart, T-Model Ford, Jesse Winchester, Lisa Marie Presley, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Hayes Carll. She also featured on Season 4 of The Voice in 2013.

In the ever-evolving landscape of global music, few artists manage to carve out a niche as distinctive and impactful as Kēvens.
Home based in Miami, this visionary musician has seamlessly fused the soulful rhythms of reggae with the pulsating beats of electronic dance music (EDM), pioneering a musical genre.
After making his debut as a solo artist at the 1998 Florida Zen music festival, a music writer asked him to describe his sound ,he replied  “ my musical concoction is ReggaeEDM”. 

25 years later, his song “Legal Dreamers” made it to number one on the Reggae single’s chart in Jamaica. Making “Legal Dreamers” the first song in the world , explicitly recognized and identified as Reggae EDM, particularly due to that December 2023 chart topping success and international media coverage.

His journey is a testament to the transformative power of music, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to deliver messages of unity, love, and social consciousness.
Kēvens' musical odyssey began in the vibrant club scene of Miami, where he initially made his mark as a DJ. His innate ability to blend diverse musical styles caught the attention of Anthony and Richard Booker, half-brothers of the legendary Bob Marley, leading to his involvement with the progressive reggae group Le Coup. 

In fact, family matriarch Cedella Marley Booker told young Kēvens very early in his musical career: "Like a letter, you must write a song with purpose."
This experience was instrumental in shaping his unique sound as he searched for his own musical identity— in the end in coined a harmonious blend of reggae's rich heritage with the futuristic elements of EDM.

Beyond his musical prowess, Kēvens is deeply committed to using his platform to promote messages of unity, love, and social consciousness. His music is promoting a theme of multiculturalism, spiritual enlightenment, artistic expression and positivism.
Kēvens views himself as the least of The Almighty’s servants whose purpose is to be a conduit for healing and connection, aiming to bridge divides and foster a sense of global community. 

His live shows consist of a lush drum 'n' bass amalgam of vocal dexterity and musicianship, mixed with a progressive rock-reggae dub style and stunning dance as well as visual imagery. 

Kēvens’ knack for the timely and profound has enabled him to tour all over the world and finds him along side an eclectic array of legends and prodigies including: Steven Tyler, Ice Cube, Tiestö, Daft Punk, Duran Duran, Carlos Santana, The Jacksons to name a few.
