As a musician you must always be ready and willing to accept the inspiration that comes upon you. Music has its way of leading you right where you need to be. Having an open mind to this muse has created great things. Long time musician Kingsley Durant has always done this and now a new sound is here in the form of his newest record Convertible.
The journey of the artist began in his earliest days. Kingsley Durant grew up in a musical family playing piano, French horn, and guitar. But music was not quite his calling yet. He went on to teach math after his college years. But this seemed to all be part of the path. A composition he wrote for a promotional video for St. Andrew’s School lit the fire. Music came quick and his 2003 debut album Away From The Water came soon after. From there the music bug bit and years of collaborations helped him develop a unique style blending jazz and rock with experimental touches.
After some recent years of focusing on life and playing acoustic guitar something changed. While out in California for his granddaughter’s birth the electric itch returned. Less than a month later Kingsley Durant had 8 new tracks ready for his new Convertible album.
