Kevin’s first solo album, The Renegade EP, debuted on Billboard Traditional Classical and Classical Crossover charts, and most recently released the Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood EP where he re-imagined timeless songs such as “True Colors” & “Don’t Dream It’s Over.” Outside of music, Kevin uses social media and technology to mentor creatives & young professionals.
