Celebrity barber Kenji Mitchell aka KenjiTheBarber knows all about making the right impressions. From clean fades to getting the right shape ups, when he wields his shear, clients get a new look on life. Not only is he nice with the blade, he has been building his brand thanks to his line of “barbering entertainment” which includes music and videos that has made him a viral sensation on social media. With a full length project on the way, Kenji wants to be a favorite in your playlist.
Raised in Hampton Roads, Virginia, Kenji possessed the passion for cutting hair from an early age. Thanks to his father, who is a professional barber, Kenji decided to follow in his footsteps. The love of music was present as well as he played various instruments in elementary school, and joined the band in his middle school years. A Norfolk State University graduate, he began making barbering his business during his college years, and built up his clientele. He began working at his father’s “In The Zone” barbershop soon after, and started incorporating music and dance into his workflow. Thanks to shares on social media, it quickly boosted his profile.
To date he has amassed hundreds of thousands of views with his videos on TikTok and Instagram, and in 2018 he made his official debut with the single “A5”. The music video for “A5” garnered over 14,000 views since its release, and got the attention of music heads in and outside Virginia. He followed up with the track, “Livin Different” in 2019, and has seen growth in popularity on major music streaming platforms.
Readying his debut project for Fall 2020, Kenji shows that you can have numerous passions, and be able to make them coexist equally. With the launch of his In The Zone record label, he looks to not only branch out further as an artist, but make the label a home for upcoming talent.
