Kehlani – First Position. The Bay Area native got her start as a dancer — both ballet and modern — and attended Oakland School for the Arts. After an unfortunate knee injury leaving her unable to dance she transferred into vocal training and the rest is history. She began her journey into the music business when she joined Poplyfe in the 8th grade and hasn’t looked back since — even appearing on America’s Got Talent with the band. Influenced by Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson, India Arie, Stever Wonder and Musiq Soul Child — she has an old soul while adding her own youthful twist to classic sounds. The best way she can describe her music is “feel good music” with R&B/Soul undertones. At only 19 years old, she has shared stages with Tony! Toni! Toné!, Stevie Wonder, Jamie Foxx, Sheila E, Lenny Williams at many historic venues including Caesars Palace, The Fox Theater, The Paramount and Yoshi’s.
HBK Gang songstress Kehlani is looking to teach young people a lesson. Directed by David Camarena. The up and coming R&B singer has been gradually gaining fans and with every release. With her Cloud 9 project still being discovered, Kehlani opens up and speaks her mind about getting comfortable with your sexuality if you’re part of the LGBTQ community.
Kehlani, who’s following is growing more passionate by the minute, gave a refreshing feel to the word ‘loyal’ when she released the visual for her song “FWU” not too long ago. As her Cloud 19 project continues creating new fans, Kehlani releases her visual for the song First Position. The song takes on a strong sense of love from the LGBT community, as Kehlani consistently promises to use her reach for the right reasons.

Kehlani – First Position Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Not cookie cutter not picture perfect
Unexpected but I’m worth it
Could expose you to this life, if that’s what you like
Explore your thoughts, stop actin’ scared
I could see you watching let me take it there
Let me show you what it’s like, to fuck with something right
Girl let me put you on with something real
Wanna show you how it feels, to rock with something trill
So come join me in this room girl it’s time
I know what you like baby, let me get you right
[Hook]
Oh na na, let me put you on
Oh na na na, let me put you on
Said she wanna try it, ain’t tryna hide it
Fuxx all of that fightin’, ain’t doin’ no more lyin’
[Verse 2]
I start off slow so you feel secure
Just let me know where you feel it more
If your breath gets quick, that’s normal
If my hands move slick, that’s normal
We could smoke one first if you tryna get lit
My weed on ten come take a hit
Cause we on girl, we on
Girl let me put you on with something real
Wanna show you how it feels, to rock with something trill
So come join me in this room girl it’s time
I know what you like baby, let me get you right
[Hook x2]
Say baby, stop messing with those boys get you a lady
Keep it 100 grand, don’t try to play me
Fuck around with my heart might have to pay me, might have to pay me
[Hook]
