Most artists spend a lifetime perfecting what others make effortless. Kortnee McCall-Simmons is a rising music artist who wields a purposeful pen, one that drips soul and slurps inspiration from life's experiences, real or imagined. With the stage being his first love, he confronts what it means to be a musician in the 21st century.

Born in New York, Kortnee found his passion for music at an early age and has since dedicated his life to it. His extensive vocal capability, introspective lyrics, and ethereal soundscape were recognized early. In 2007, he was recognized by Maurice Starr and tapped to perform with Chris Brown during a local event in Stuart, FL. After the event, he would be recognized by the late R&B legend, Betty Wright.

Beginning in the writing process and culminating in the recording of his debut EP, Kortnee revealed the beauty, pain, joy, and strife that come with being a black man in love. His candid nature and ability to relate to his audience is what not only makes him an artist who makes art with meaning – but one who is easy to connect with on a level deeper than sound waves.

"Kortnee Simmons is an artist you want to watch. He's a prolific songwriter and storyteller...the type of artist we want to share with everyone."
