2007 DETROIT MUSIC AWARD NOMINEE

Born in the heart of the Motor City, in the Mexican Town district known as SW Detroit, Kevin was raised within walking distance from Motown Records by his Grandmother and Mother. His Father, of whom he never had the chance to know, left early on at the at the age of two, and It wasnt long before the streets of broken glass and broken dreams became not only a teacher of Love and Hate, but of Death and Survival.

He attended Detroit Public Schools- Webster Elementary, Earhart Jr High and Western High Schools, and despite the hand that was dealt, somehow remained out of the morgue, as well as the judicial system.

He witnessed first hand, the Detroit Riots, Gang Wars, Drugs, Drive-by's and Poverty, much more than any child should ever have to endure by the age of 13.

During his 1st year of High School, a sudden change began to take place. Introduced by neighbors to the world of music, it was at this time that he decided to put down the guns and pick up the guitar, and found himself making his first live stage appearance only 2 weeks later in front of a packed house at The Carriage Wheel Lounge in Westland, Mi. with friend and musical mentor Billy Lash (Fourplay).

From that night forward, he heard a new calling in life.

Away from the gunfire and closer to a dream, the sound of amplifiers and the applause of an audience lured him a few steps further from being just another inner city statistic.

This life changing decision, followed by many years of musical dedication led him to over 10 Metro Times Motor City Awards, Detroit Music Awards, tours of the United States as well as England and Scotland, countless performances amongst Top 10 Recording Artists such as Kid Rock, Joe Walsh, Richard Marx, Joan Jett, Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, Greg Alman,

The Del Fuegos, Will (Sexton) and the Kill, The BulletBoys, The Tubes, and many others.

As a writer and recording artist, has released numerous original compositions which ultimately placed him in the top 40 National Airplay Charts, is registered as a BMI songwriter and holds a Rotosound USA Endorsement!
