In addition to recording his own music, Kent has written and co-written songs for other artists, including labelmate Marvinetta Clay’s hit debut single, “God Is So Good,” which he co-wrote with another labelmate, Jack Yates. “God Is So Good,” which rose to No. 2 on the Synergy 1 Gospel radio chart in 2022, is a silky-smooth, jazz-inflected, Gospel-Urban Contemporary synthesis. Kent, whose voice has been compared to such Motown greats as Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, and Smokey Robinson, but with a sound that is uniquely his own that uplifts the mind and spirit, is based in his hometown of Las Vegas, and has performed with music legends including Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan. |

His current single, “Red, White, and Blue,” which honors soldiers who died for their country, has been having an impact inside and outside of the church, including his recent performance for the military community in San Diego. “Fate has a genuine love for the military veteran community. His exhibits a strong passion to help in any kind of way.” says Dr. Dennis Eley, Jr., Th.D. MBA., pastor of Military Outreach Ministries International Church and overseer with ACTS 2 CNI. “We were blessed to have him sing at our Military Unity Gospel Concert.” Kent’s upcoming debut solo project is slated for release on LeRae Records in 2024. |
