About Me

Musically:
Kevin Roney is a singer/songwriter blending folk, funk and hip hop. With his head bopping quick melodic rhymes and infectious folk-pop melodies, Roney hopes to engage your hips in dance and your mind in thought.
Kevin Roney has been singing since his first shower and writing songs that sound good for about 9 years. He plays locallly when people want to hear him. Coversongs upset him. Roney has 14 songs that have evolved in time to a level worthy of sharing and finally can be put to rest through recording.
But wait Roney's dumbass has been saying that forever.. when is the cd coming out? He never knows cause it costs too much money that he never has. If you have money Roney would love to talk to you for some of it. He's busy polishing songs at his relatively ghetto home studio to save some time off of outrageous hourly rates of studios. Roney's Acoustic sound is currently being beefed up for a fuller produced sound that blends the live feel with the digital electronic. Backup vocals and basslines are the current focus. DRUMS and BEATS are the next crucial element. If you are good at playing the drums and making beats Roney would love to talk to you. Roney prefers to beatbox beats cause his hands are occupied with playing the guitar.
Debut CD ETA sometime soon. Roney hopes you'll want to buy one and tell all your friends to buy 2.
Little about me:
Art is beauty. Music is a love. Creative expression is a love. Beauty is a goal. Through the love of expressing myself through music in the search for beauty I attempt to present something beautiful.
I'm a musician living in Detroit's east side. I like quiet walks in the park, cleaning up crackpipes and used condoms while sippin on my low carb 40 ounce. Graduated from the four year vacation party with business information systems and psychology. I love to learn. I worked enough years after school to make me either never wanna work under anyone everyone again or go right back to school for more degrees. I'm pursuing my music heavily and wont stop untill my album is complete and I gave these songs my all. It's fun to laugh and I try to do that as much as I can. I get along with everyone and enjoy meeting all kinds of people. I like when people can teach me and are open to my viewpoint. Ornamentation is funny, all the different styles that people have are funny, hippies, punks, preps, clinging to identities that are supposedly different because their namebrand is spelled differently or their skin is painted a different shade. If you're open to the possibility that someone is potentially good before you meet them regardless of anything on the outside we'll probably be great friends. I love when people bring me a new perspective. I like to be suprised but rarely feel that way anymore. My friends are many and my enemies few. I hate the times when I'm my worst enemy. I adapt to changes in behavior with shining resiliency, but changes in true feelings are stubborn and move like snails. My heart is as strong as my balls. I have the balls to put my heart into everything. I follow my heart even when it tells me things may not be easy on me. I'm an artsy guy that looks like a meathead.
