Born into a family of singers & musicians, Gentry was destined to be a performer. Inspired by Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Donny Hathaway & Stevie Wonder. Gentry learned to play piano at an early age & later picked up the guitar. Creating a sound that’s unique in its own, as is his image, a blend of vintage soul, rock, funk & hip hop layered with today’s sonics.

Moving from St Louis to California to join forces with west coast’s legend MC Hammer & his Oakland Fight Club Imprint. 

Gentry is ready to invite the world into his infectious body of work. The self-proclaimed “Black Hippie” a.k.a. “The Chocolate Boy Wonder” with the eclectic sound and eccentric style is GENTRY KOZIA.
