80s Bassist Turns Realtor at Village Realty

Kenneth Gant is the newest realtor at Village Realty, but you may also recognize him from the 80s R&B and electro-funk band Midnight Star.

You probably never knew that you wanted a member of the funky 1980s band Midnight Star to close the deal on your new home. But now that we've mentioned it, wouldn't it be kind of cool?

Kenneth Gant is the newest real estate agent to join the team at Sierra Madre's Century 21 . Though he says he's always had an interest in real estate, he wasn't always a realtor.

Gant is also a professional musician and spent well over three decades as a bassist in Midnight Star, the R&B and electro-funk band known for the chart-topping 1980s hits "No Parking on the Dance Floor," "Freak-A-Zoid," "Operator," and "Play Another Slow Jam."
