Guess whose booking Chester "Lyfe" Jennings hotels for his up coming tour

Fantasia Barino of American Idol is touring with him.

And what a SUPER DIVA this guy is.....

30 hotels, 3 superior king suite rooms (one for him, his manager and the bus driver. And he has to have the better of the 3 rooms), and about 10 entourage rooms.

The booking has to be made under a different name of course but trying to explain this to a few hotels some of which never heard of him is becoming such a hassle.

Re: Guess whose booking Chester "Lyfe" Jennings hotels for his up coming tour

LOL Dont worry when I first heard the name I was like who are you talking about and thought it was a prank call. But I did some internet searching and found this out:

The music of Chester "Lyfe" Jennings has the familiar feel of old-school classics, and his soulful, gravelly voice is being compared to the likes of R&B greats Al Green and Sam Cook.

It's been a longer road than most for Jennings -- he slipped into a life of crime early and spent 10 years behind bars for an arson-related charge. But on his debut CD Lyfe 268-192, released last August and beginning to climb the charts, you won't hear Jennings boasting of his criminal exploits to boost sales. Instead, the former convict, now in his late 20s, is quick to speak of the tough lessons he's learned. In fact, the title of the CD is the number assigned to him in prison.

Proof that there's power in a second chance, Jennings hit the ground running after he was released from prison in 2002. He moved to New York City to pursue a recording career, and his first stop was the world famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem.

Jennings went on to win Apollo's talent competition five times, and sealed a deal with Columbia Records. Jennings is tough to categorize -- he may look like a rapper, but he plays guitar like a folk singer and croons like Motown. It's a sound some are calling "folk soul" for its raw emotion and searing honesty.

"Some people might find it unnerving, but to me, when you can win people over as a new artist -- that really says something about it," Jennings says. "And you know, we've been winning them over, definitely."

A lot of people havent. Explaining him to a hotel whose never heard of him is even worse. Apparently he's the hottest thing out there. MTV plays his stuff a lot I've heard.
