Keonté Beals is creating his own definition of what it means to be a ‘King’

Keonté Beals is one of the hardest-working performers on the east coast. His energetic live shows recieve comparisons to the likes of Usher, Anthony Hamilton, and Elijah Blake. Beals’ latest release ‘King’ has garnered raving reviews and multiple lucrative awards.

“Black men are pushed into a box and anything outside of that box is side-eyed and unacceptable. ‘King’ is a musical war cry directly targeting the barriers of toxic masculinity and stigma to get to the core. Starting the conversation.”

Keonté Beals on the message behind his latest release ‘King’.

As well, with the help of his little brother Antonio, Keonté published ‘I Am Perfectly Me’, a children’s book focusing on empowering BIPOC children to be proud of what makes them unique and beautiful. Joe Hubley cover all this and more in this CHMA exclusive interview.
