Kindred The Family Soul
Kindred The Family Soul of Philadelphia are Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon, a husband and wife duo from Philadelphia, Pa and Washington, DC., who began performing together at the Black Lily Soul Showcase in Philly, whose notable alum member is Jill Scott. Word started to spread from there and the duo eventually got noticed by Steve McKeever, the founder of Hidden Beach Recordings, home to Scott who convinced her label, Hidden Beach/Epic, to sign the singing duo in 2001.
They released their critically acclaimed debut album, Surrender to Love on February 23, 2003. Their lead single, “Far Away,” which became a hit on urban adult contemporary radio and their follow up, “Stars,” was released in 2004.
The duo’s second effort, September 2005’s In This Life Together, charted at No. 41 on Billboard’s US R&B charts. Their third album, October 2008’s Arrival, the duo released two singles, “House of Love” and “Just The Way You Are,” debuting at No. 7 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
