After finishing high school, Kem dealt with homelessness, addiction, and isolation from his family. He did not overcome these issues until he turned to spirituality and music, as he has said, "My career didn't take off until I connected with my spirituality. That's why I take time on stage and on the album to administer spirituality to people. That's one of the things that I am most proud of." He has also stated that he does not create music marketed to the mainstream hip-hop-dominated R&B crowd but to people who enjoy his soul/jazz adult contemporary sound and lyrical content. He wrote, produced, and financed his self-released debut album, Kemistry, by singing in a wedding band and waiting tables. He was later signed by Motown Records, who re-released the album on February 25, 2003. The album's first single, "Love Calls", became a hit at urban adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio. He followed his debut release with a sophomore album, Album II, released May 17, 2005. It included the hit single "I Can't Stop Loving You", a #1 at urban adult contemporary radio, and the song "You Might Win" featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica.

There's a man, that needs you too, aw baby
Maybe, I'm the man for you
You hear my heart, you fill my life, you make my day
I'm more in every way, my baby
'Cause you open me and you feel it
I care for you, I wanna hear from you,
Girl I'll be there for you,
Can you feel it?
I miss you boo, I'm reminiscing too,
Our love is strong
Girl all I do, is wanna be with you,
Can you feel it?
The days go by, the nights are long
But I refuse to let you go,
Maybe I'm crazy (you get a little crazy sometimes, I know)
Or maybe no one loves you better
With all my love, all my time,
With all my heart, my soul, my mind I will be here
I will be here, I'm waiting for you,
Waiting for you baby, faithfully
Can you feel it?

I wanna stay with you, can you feel it?
You got me hypnotized, my baby's on my mind, girl please come home
I'll do whatever you, you wanna do
I'll never leave you and I'll never lie,
