Chris Kent is a singer and cabaret entertainer in the style of the classic age of swing music. His voice has been likened not only to the heroes of the swing era Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin but also to present day singing sensation Michael Buble.
Chris is an entertainer not an impersonator. He maintains his own relaxed laid back style and together with his gift for audience interaction this guarantees everyone – old or young – a really great night. Memories are made of this!
Having deservedly gained attention throughout Greater London and South East England, Chris travels all around the UK and abroad sharing his unique talents with audiences of all ages.
Chris has worked at many venues both home and abroad including a tour playing his Rat Pack tribute act to sell out audiences on the Costa Del Sol. Chris also featured as a regular guest on David Prever’s afternoon show wowing LBC radio listeners with his impressive vocal range and charismatic style.
Chris now enjoys residencies at The Clarendon Hotel in Blackheath and Rendezvous Casino at Brighton Marina enjoy a spin of the wheel while listening to Chris's great sounds as well as being available to provide high class entertainment at all kinds of corporate and private parties fundraisers and other events.

Chris can learn requests and is especially keen to do this for your first dance at your wedding. Providing the artist deems the request possible this will be done for no extra charge whether you book the backing tracks or the full band. Please enquire when you speak to your agent.
Music between sets can be provided for no extra charge; this can be the music of your choice; again please discuss this with your agent.
Chris is a member of The Sinatra Music Society and The Musicians’ Union.

Chris Kenten, Crooner, 90th birthday bash!
Jackie W booked Chris Kenten for their event in Kent
“Chris was absolutely fabulous! We were celebrating my dads 90th at my home which was rather crowded with Chris a few feet away from everyone , not really the stage you would expect for an entertainer but like a true professional he gave a wonderful performance with everyone joining in; we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely engage his services again as would some of our friends who were present , and also that of Alive network where Adam made it all come together so smoothly. ”
You were absolutely brilliant! Everybody was saying how good you were. Thank you...
