Classically trained on piano since the age of 7, picking up the clarinet a few years later, and attaining Grade 8 on this instrument too, this was the springboard for a life of passionate focus on music. Breaking away from the classical music teaching model at around 15, seeking a more free, richer, and wider-ranging experience of music, he took the solid base of technique and theory knowledge that the classical model had delivered, and evolved, journeying through jazz theory, composition, improvisation and into recording/production. Writing songs and recording full productions with minimum kit in his bedroom at 16-18, the passion for all that music has to offer never waned. He taught himself guitar as a teenager, and is now an accomplished player, and tutor, covering both acoustic and electric guitar. By continuing his music education, and becoming a "Tonmeister", after gaining a BMus (Hons) Degree in Music and Sound Recording at Surrey University in the UK, Kevin had invested another 4 years of his life into his pursuit of the marriage of art and technology. This remains a core theme today. Playing in bands from jazz quartets to funk/rock/pop through to electronic crossover outfits, and more in between, coupled with releases as writer/producer for many dance labels, he has a deep and broad experience of music from many angles. Kevin is also a singer-songwriter in his own right, and has been a finalist in the UK Song-writing Contest many times, winning the Adult Contemporary genre in 2011, with his song "Forgotten State".
