Lyfe Jennings Biografi

Not that he would wish it on anyone, but it was during his ten-year sentence in prison, Lyfe Jennings developed his honest sound, thanks to the isolation and Erykah Badu. It was an arson charge that put the Toledo, OH, based in prison. His musical ambitions started in the church choir and grew in the Dotsons, a teenaged group that Lyfe formed with his brother and a few cousins. Prison made his music deeper, according to Lyfe, and when a copy of Erykah Badu's Baduizm ended up in his cell in 1997, he was inspired and had a feeling that this introspective edge to his music was worth developing. Two days after his december 2002 release from prison, he was recording a four-song demo CD. The day after he was performing live in a club. He had only a month of freedom before he was on stage at the famous Apollo. He was booed when he went on stage with an acoustic guitar, but when the Apollo audience heard his gritty falsetto and lyrical songwriting, the influence - influence the tune of five amateur-night victories in a row. Lyfe figures he sold a thousand copies of his four-song demo CD at his Apollo "stay". This, together with a wealth of calls from promoters and record label execs on his answering machine back in Ohio, affected Lyfe to move to New York City and pursue a major label deal. Columbia was the right offer and released his debut, Lyfe 268-192 (his inmate number), in august 2004. A year after its initial release, the album was reissued with a new version of "hypothetical", American Idol winner Fantasia added as a bonus track. The more hip-hop-oriented follow-up, The Phoenix, arrived in 2006 with Three 6 Mafia and Young Buck making guest appearances. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
