![]() ![]() Although they were very popular at local talent competitions and accepted by the public, the vocal group soon fell apart. At the beginning of the 1980s, as a 10-year-old boy he formed the teenage vocal group named “Dostons”, along side Keith Doston’s sons Chris and Tim, and with his brother. When he was in elementary school, he started not only performing with the choir at Cavalry Baptist Church, but also writing songs. As a very young boy he showed a talent for music and an inspiration he saw in his uncle Keith Doston, who was a singer in the group “KGB”. ![]() Lyfe Jennings was raised with older brother Jay in Toledo. Have you ever wondered how rich Lyfe Jennings is? As of late 2015, it is reported that Jennings’ overall net worth is $500,000, an amount he owes mostly to his successful career in the music industry, but which has been limited by spells in jail. He is also recognized as an instrumentalist, because he plays the piano, bass and guitar. Here’s a gallery of photos below taken by Mike Ware of M&M Photography.Chester Jermaine Jennings was born on the 3rd June 1973, in Toledo, Ohio, USA, and as Lyfe Jennings he is best known as a soul and R&B musician – singer, songwriter and record producer. Lyfe is currently doing spot dates around the country, so please check him out if you get a chance. The highlight for us was when we went into his very first single “ Must Be Nice”. It kicked off with an extremely mellow, almost acoustic vibe before the full musical production kicked in. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s what we call sanging! The songs all came to life thanks in part to his four-piece band who were jamming all night long and gave each track the soul and “special sauce” that they needed. Of his back catalog of songs, we were treated to hear “ Never Never Land“, “ Stick Up Kid“, “ Let’s Stay Together“, “ Cry“, and “ S.E.X” which he performed as a duet with his female background singer that literally stopped the show with her amazing voice. At certain moments, it was a little difficult to hear Lyfe sing because audience participation had gotten THAT loud, but that is always the good kind of “problem” that any performing artist would prefer to experience. It was obvious that the crowd was feeling the vibe, because they were singing each lyric word for word as if they had internalized a few of those songs. It’s a raspy tone that seemingly carries a lot of conviction with it, but it’s that same conviction that makes him relatable to anyone who listens to his music. Lyfe has long had one of those voices that are unique, and comes around every so often. ![]()
