Kemi Adegoroye

Kemi Adegoroye is a jazz and soul-inspired singer-songwriter based in the DC Metro Area. With versatile vocals that range from dulcet to thundering, her performances have been likened to those of Aretha Franklin, Sarah Vaughan, and Roberta Flack. She performs regularly as a solo artist and as the frontwoman of DC-based jazz and R&B band Terra Firma the Band.

On Valentine's Day 2020, Kemi released her first original single, The Man Who Stole the Moon, inspired by the 2010 movie Despicable Me starring Steve Carell. A year later, she became a 2021 Wammie Awards Finalist for the release of The Man Who Stole the Moon. Her debut EP, For the Record, was her first collection of original music, and earned her two finalist spots in the 2022 Wammie Awards for Best R&B/Soul Album and Best R&B/Soul Artist.
