Sing like you think no one's listening

About Me

Travelling far from the East, Kevin has brought his original music from Detroit, MI to the unsuspecting ears of Las Vegas. All of his songs come from the heart and real-life experiences. Kevin sings about love, attraction, lust, betrayal, addiction and disappointment but ultimately, in the end, hope for what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger.Kevin has worked in the entertainment industry for ten years now, primarily as a stagehand behind the scenes but has always felt a strong pull to put down the crescent wrench, pick up the guitar and be the one onstage performing rather than hanging back in the shadows. Won't you support his endeavour by coming out to watch him play at the Las Vegas open mics and anywhere else he may have listed in the "Upcoming Shows" section? Thanks and peace!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/19/2006
Band Members: Currently, just me but I am searching for others to play out with. Making an acoustic duo would be cool but a full band would be nice too.
Influences: Major popular influences include Nirvana, Dashboard Confessional, Smashing Pumpkins, Coldplay, The Pixies, Weezer, Pearl Jam and Radiohead. Basically, the 90's grunge/ alternative rock scene is why I got into music in the first place but Kurt Cobain was the main reason I got motivated enough to actually start learning guitar in '96. I get a lot of my inspiration today from the numerous awesome unsigned artists that I find at open mics and other such places. Please, for the love of God, support your local music scene! There's a lot of good stuff out there waiting to be discovered!
Sounds Like: You want to make comparisons, feel free. I'd like to think that I sound like me with a touch of anyone and anything that has ever influenced my songwriting.
Type of Label: None
