New Orleans, Louisiana native Kynt (Producer/Singer/Songwriter/Model/Dancer/Choreographer), has set his sights on global domination! After the death of his grandmother at the tenderage of 8, Kynt became a ward of the state and eventually placed in foster care. Through a series or traumatic and horrific events that followed Kynt always found solace in music. While at Father Flanagan's Boystown of New Orleans he attended NOCCA (New Orleans Center for Creative Arts) studying clarinet & voice and doubled as head band drum major at New Orleans legendary Walter L. Cohen Sr High School under the direction of Anthony Decuir. Kynt gained performance experience singing background for local jazz artist Davell Crawford and John Boutte. He also moonlighted as a dancer for rap artist Warren Maze and was the resident performer for the world famous Fat Black Pussycat Productions. Upon graduation, Kynt was awarded full scholarship from the University of New Orleans, Louisiana's Office of Child Support, Boystown of New Orleans, and PFLAG. Kynt continued his studies at the University of New Orleans but later found a permanent home at Loyola University of New Orleans. It was at this university where he graduated with a special double major in Communications and Dance.
The world first got a taste of Kynt in 1997 when bootleg copies of his demo “Day After Day” began to surface in clubs around the world. As a part of a free style recording session Kynt was approached by Josh Eustis (Tel Fon Tel Aviv/Hefty Records) about penning lyrics for an upbeat house track. From that session the critically acclaimed "Beyond The Sunshine" was born and solidified Kynt as songwriter and producer. In 2000, thanks largely in part to Mp3.com, Kynt signed several songs to Grammy award nominated and house music legend Roy Davis Jr's Underground Therapy Muzik. At the same time, Kynt gained international exposure through the internet which led to a slew of number one songs on various Mp3, DJ, & Club chart listings. Kynt later joined he New Orleans House Project, the brainchild of legend Djs John Larner aka DJ Cyberjive and Slater Hogan. New Orleans House Project featured remixes by Chicago DJ Skip.
In 2007, in a joint venture with MamaHouse – Brazil (noted for the 1 Billboard Dance Club Play hit "Altar ft. Jeanie Tracy - Party People" - a song originally recorded and written by Kynt), Kynt made an unforgettable impact with the massively successful hit singles "We Can Work This Out", "Makes Me Hot", and "Listen To The Music ft. Sheben", solidifying Kynt as a mainstream chart topping artist!
Kynt fuses an eclectic mix of silky smooth urban melodies littered with well-produced funky electric grooves and non-stop banging beats. His voice is impeccably luminous and rides easily along any style of music. Known exclusively as the “vocal assassin”, Kynt masterfully showcases his harmonious tenor falsetto vocals on a vast array of self produced dreamy, hypnotic, and catchy original songs. Kynt’s versatility and superb technique transcend genre placing him in a category all his own. On a larger scale, Kynt exemplifies the flamboyant finesse, mesmerizing persona, and grandiloquent charisma that cultivate all the makings for crossover mainstream success.
