Kemi Adegoroye

Experience new music and arrangements from award-winning soul and jazz singer Kemi Adegoroye. With versatile vocals that range from dulcet to thundering, Kemi's voice has been likened to those of Aretha Franklin, Sarah Vaughan, and Roberta Flack. Join us as we celebrate the release of Kemi's new song, FLOWERS, and her upcoming sophomore EP, marked by captivating melodies and lyrics that celebrate authentic human connection.

Kemi Adegoroye is an award-winning singer-songwriter based in Washington, DC. Her performances have been described as "nothing short of magical, blending smooth jazz melodies with a silky, rich voice that instantly draws you in." In 2025, Kemi made an acclaimed debut at Blues Alley, celebrating the jazz club's 60th anniversary in front of a sold out audience. Later that year, she headlined the historic Hippodrome Theater, kicking off the Richmond Jazz and Music Festival alongside T.I., Jodeci, and Marsha Ambrosius. Kemi has performed at the Historic Palace Theater, Pearl Street Warehouse, and Union Stage; sung the U.S. National Anthem at Nationals Park and the DC Tennis Open; performed live on television and radio; and performed internationally in Nigeria, France, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, and Italy.

Kemi's new music pays tribute to soul icons Aretha Franklin, Minnie Riperton, and Stevie Wonder, with insightful lyrics inspired by her love of flower arranging and recordkeeping. Her previous releases and accolades include: For the Record EP (2022 Wammie Awards Finalist); In My Corner (2024 Telly Award Winner); and the 2025 Trailblazers Award from the University of Virginia Ridley Scholars Program for establishing standards of excellence amongst UVA alumni.
