Kem Tickets

Kem Live in Concert

Kem has built one of the most devoted followings in contemporary RnB by doing something remarkably simple: writing love songs that mean it. The Detroit singer and songwriter -- born Kim Owens -- spent years perfecting a sound rooted in classic soul, smooth jazz, and quiet storm RnB before releasing his debut album Kemistry in 2001. That album found an audience through word of mouth and radio airplay, and the fans who discovered him never left. Songs like Love Calls, Promise to Love, and Why Would You Stay have become staples of adult contemporary playlists precisely because they capture real emotional depth without any gimmicks.
 
No 2026 tour dates have been announced yet, but Kem continues to be one of the most beloved performers on the adult RnB circuit, and BigStub will be ready when he hits the road. Check the listings below for any available dates, and keep an eye out for new announcements from one of the most genuinely soulful artists working today.

Kem grew up in Detroit and found his way to music after years of personal struggle, including a period of homelessness in his early twenties. That lived experience informs every song he writes -- there is nothing superficial about his lyrics because he has genuinely lived the emotions he describes. After self-releasing Kemistry, he was signed to Motown Records, and subsequent albums like Album II and Intimacy further cemented his reputation as one of the most consistent voices in RnB. He has collaborated with artists like Anita Baker and Mary J. Blige, earned Grammy nominations, and consistently sold out theaters and seated venues across the country.
