Hailing from The Garden State of New Jersey, The KENJEX are two gifted biological brothers, Kaleb (aka Hawk Mitchell - 15) and Elias (aka Ben Beatz - 11) Bethune. They write, produce, & perform their own material, and are also musicians. Hawk Mitchell plays piano/keyboard and Ben Beatz has been playing drums since he was four years old. The brothers designed the group’s name with the goal of capturing the essence of their ethnic, cultural and musical identities…(KEN – their mom is from Kenya, East Africa / JEX – their dad is originally from the housing projects in Paterson, New Jersey.) Although their preferred method of communicating their deep and contemplative messages is through the medium of Hip-Hop/Rap, these young brothers are far more than just a rap group and would rather not be solely defined and categorized as such. Hawk Mitchell is the group’s charismatic lyrical front man, who also sings hooks and riffs on many of the group’s tracks, and is also a gifted producer. Ben Beatz is equally efficient when it comes to studio production, and plays live drums on some of the group’s songs during performances. He is also the group’s DJ. The true power and genius of KENJEX music is nestled in the fact that a 17 year old can sit in the same room with their 57 year old parent, and any KENJEX song that they listen to will relevantly speak to both right where they find themselves in life! Because of this, The KENJEX have positioned themselves among a very distinguished cadre, indeed an extremely small & rare group of gifted/conscious music artists from around the world!The KENJEX describe their music as being “necessary medicine for the sickness of society and the world.” <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Kenjex">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
