Album Notes

Kevin began his ministry at the age of 15 and was recently led to establish a church-plant in the metro Atlanta suburb of Lilburn. Writing his first song when he was only 14, he began training and directing choirs both locally and internationally from the age of 16. He has shared the stage with such gospel artist as Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Kim Burrell, Keith Pringle, Byron Cage, Lacreshia Campbell, Rev.

His musical influences include Fred Hammond, Rance Allen, Stevie Wonder, Clark Sisters, Brian Mcknight, Andre Crouch, Donnie Hathaway, Commissioned, Winans, and John P. Kee. Kevin's music is a smooth blend of jazzy Gospel, praise and worship, and inspirational music. Known for his silky balladeer style, Kevin is an anointed and powerful Gospel singer who sings with feeling and conviction. He has served as minister of music for several churches throughout the U.S. and Europe. Pastor Kevin faced a traumatic experience in 2001 that nearly took his life. Through a freak, unexplainable occurrence, his esophagus was severed!!!! The doctors could not explain nor understand why this had happened. This threatened not only his music ministry but also his life. While lying in intensive care connected to life support, the Lord assured him that his work was not finished. Miraculously he was healed and returned to ministry after his recovery. Not knowing if his voice would ever be the same, he knew that the music that had been birthed inside of him was not to be denied. And though his voice had somewhat changed, God worked wonders and he began work to release this CD in 2004. Pastor Kevin is extremely grateful to God for the privilege to at last present this God inspired music to each listener. Presently his time is devoted to ministry with Restoration House as well as through doors and venues that are opened throughout the Body of Christ.
