Biography
Born in Detroit, Kevin began studying with a private musical tutor at age 4 and made his professional debut at 14 with the Well Tempered Clavichord, a teenage musical group of which he was a founding member. As he grew up, Kevin studied under Detroit Symphony pianist, Mischa Kottler, and attended the University of Michigan School of Music. He has also attended the New England Conservatory of Music, receiving a Bachelor of Music as well as a Master’s Degree in Performance. He spent several years playing in and around the Boston area before moving to San Francisco in 1990, where he began performing at a variety of live venues. His unique approach and ability to communicate earned a spot on the faculty as a theory teacher and vocal accompanist at Jazz Camp West in Santa Cruz in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1998.
Some say Kevin’s compositions can be compared melodically to classical music and wonder which composer’s music influences him most. Primarily Bach’s, which Kevin says is like the pyramids; the stones, or notes, fit together without mortar.
