Lyfe Jennings (born Chester Jennings in Toledo, Ohio on June 3, 1973) is a platinum-selling American R&B and soul singer-songwriter, record producer, and instrumentalist. He plays the guitar, bass, and piano which he integrates into his music. The New York Times referred to him as a „socially minded R&B singer.
Early life
Lyfe started his musical career as a young boy in a church in Toledo, OH. His love for music led him to join a group that included two of his cousins and his older brother. After splitting, Lyfe continued his interest in music. As stated in the song „Ghetto Superman“ The Phoenix, Lyfe lost his father at an early age. In 1992, at the age of 19, Lyfe went to prison. The time he spent in prison would soon turn his life around.
Time behind bars
In 1992, Lyfe Jennings went to jail for arson.[1] As Lyfe refers to many times in his music, he turned his life around while in jail. There, Lyfe continued to write music and rekindle his faith in God. Lyfe served a little over 10 years behind bars. The numbers „268-192“ attached to the end of his debut album represent the identification number he was given while incarcerated.[1]
Lyfe After Jail And Career
Lyfe found his true love for music again while serving time in jail. „Deeper situations tend to lead to deeper music and prison was one of those deeper situations. (Music) gave me an opportunity to express emotions in an unemotional environment.“ He began to play the guitar, sing, write and even started a music program in the Ohio institution. Upon his December 2002 release he began seriously pursuing his solo career.

Love me some Lyfe jennings. ever since his first album ..it's nice for people to come in the industry and make nothing but positive music. i always wanted to meet him or see him in concert for being such an inspiration for me. I loved his first 3 albums i didn't care for the recent one "still believe" though.

I’ve been down with Lyfe music since the very beginning. He is truly an amazing artist and his music is from the heart. He is very soulful and it could have been worse, Let's Stay Together, Radio, Cry are just a few of my favorite songs from this man. However, I LOVE is last album I Still Believe........
