Ken Dior is a young artist from Portsmouth, Virginia, who uses music to express himself for a better good. In a time of global crisis, music has become a haven and has provided warmth to a lot of people. Ken Dior also uses his voice for the people who are afraid to speak up. He believes that a positive voice is needed when people are enveloped with struggles.
What separates him from other rising artists is his vocals. Ken Dior gives a hundred percent of authentic and true vocals that other aspiring and rising artists, or even music superstars, struggle to achieve. He also creates a vibe that fits with any genre. Ken Dior achieved this because he had broken through his comfort zone and found himself, which resulted in bringing authentic music for the audience.
Ken Dior says, “I want to target the people that want to learn and overcome their problems and are willing to take any risk to reach their goals. I hope my story can help those that are looking for hope.”
Ken Dior does not aim for only one genre of music. He is open to all possibilities, as long as he can fully express himself through what he is truly passionate about: creating music.
He emphasized himself as a recording artist rather than a rapper, and his genuine style of music is rooted in his personal life. Like everyone else, he had overcome his challenges and turned the pain into music. His life before he focused on becoming an inspiring recording artist was filled with failures. He has also experienced living in poverty, which threatened his journey to achieving his dream.
“People give up every day on their dream because they feel trapped in a position they can’t get out of at the time or don’t know how to take the next forward towards their goals,” he says. “I believe in patience, timing, and just a persistent and nonstop work ethic, but lastly, having unwavering faith in what you believe in.” With faith, Ken Dior believes that a person can be unstoppable.
In the future, he sees his team performing at the Grammys or at halftime shows, but what is important for him is that through his music, he can help others to reach their dreams and be able to achieve things they never even dreamed of.
Times like these, where everyone is forced to stay at home to keep themselves safe, can give an intense feeling of detachment and lack of sense of belonging. Unfortunately, it can also lead one to lose their feeling of value in the community. Ken Dior’s music can help people to overcome this feeling. In this time, music can become a powerful instrument to uplift everyone who feels down and devastated. Recording artists like Ken Dior use their passion and energy to give warmth to the listeners for them to cope with what they have lost, and most of all, for everyone in this world to stay connected.
