Gken-E

I celebration of getting my tickets to Lightning In A Bottle, I wanted to post a very relevant artist who brings that same great vibe to the table up on Audible Twilight. A friend of mine introduced me to Gken-E and after listening to his music for a couple days I had to post about him. This guy needs more attention! There should be more people like Gken-E in this world.

This is a direct quote from his SoundCloud bio:

"I have such an overwhelming feeling of love and joy inside my heart, I can't stop myself from smiling. My goal is to share this feeling with you through my music!"

I mean come on... how nice is that!? It helps that this guy makes such beautiful music. It is so tranquil, yet really groovy at the same time. You can tell he pours his heart and soul into every single track, and the end product is amazing. This music won't be for everyone, but if you ever need a moment to just chill and reflect or meditate while doing yoga to, this is your guy.

Here is one of his newest tracks, titled Thank You For My Friends, that really allows your mind to let go of whatever it is that is bothering you or holding you back and just relax. I love this one. So peaceful and soothing. Vibe out to it with me below



His SoundCloud page is full of amazing tracks like this one. Some other ones to check out are Radiant, weART or Leveling.

He also has released a seven track album back in 2012 that is equally as great. It has that great mellow vibe, but includes some more live instrumentation, like a drum kit and guitars, as well as his signature bongos throughout. The first track off the album really sets the mood and puts you in the right place to carry through the rest of the tracks. Check out Can't Stop Smiling below.



I love how throughout the album, like on the song Ocean Calm, he throws in some samples of what sounds like clips from an educational/documentary movie about finding yourself and navigating your way through life. It adds a nice depth to his music's overall message and really gets you thinking as you sit there listening to the beautiful sounds. You can tell all Gken-E really wants is for you to be happy just being you. His passion for life spills out through the speakers and is completely infectious.

Here is one last track of his that I love. It's called Take a Minute. It has more of a bouncy, upbeat sound and has some vocals that bring even more life to the track. This one is great to listen to in the morning as your getting ready to face the day. Check it out and more on the Audible Twilight Spotify Playlist!

Like him on Facebook to see if he will be blessing your city with his presence anytime soon.

Enjoy! <3
