In a professional band, the Musical Director, or M.D., guides the group from the first audition to the last gig. The M.D. must know how to put together a band that is right for the music, as well as how to rehearse that band and get a high-quality show or recording session together. Top M.D.s are never lacking for work and those who are great stay in high demand by top artists who will settle for nothing less than the best. Enter Detroit native Kern Brantley.
A mere glance at Kern's credits reveal an individual whose talent and reputation for exellence earns numerous placements on major projects. Through his experience Kern has become a very accomplished Studio Musician, Producer, Songwriter and Arranger.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan; a city that is synonymous with music heavyweights, Kern gleaned his style listening to the celebrated Motown artists of the 60's and 70's. There is no doubt that being raised in Detroit during this period was electrifying and influenced his style a great deal. The standards were set very high. Kern epitomizes this awareness.

Kern is without a doubt one of the giants of the music industry. I have been fortunate enough to work with him on two projects, which gain enormously from his contributions, experience, and talent.
