Kez Ban is the street performer we met during American Idol’s Chicago auditions.
She performs with fire and makes balloon animals, but apparently also writes music.
Because while Kez Ban sounded OK on “Pinocchio” during the audition, it was when she launched into an original song called “Wandering” while playing guitar that the judges really took notice.
And that song prompted Nicki Minaj to call her “very capivating.”
Here are three videos of Kez Ban singing; the last is another verson of “Wandering.”
I’ll be posting a full bio on Kez Ban and other featured contestants on American Idol at a later date.
“Cold Feelings”
“Raise the Wager”
“Azure Sky”
