notes

Kevyn is on a journey. Her life and career have always been about movement and a refusal to accept boundaries, confinement or stereotypes.

At the age of fourteen Kevyn left her native Germany for the United States, where she finished high school while supporting herself cleaning houses and studying dance on the side. By seventeen the singing bug had gripped her and she was ready to make the fulltime commitment to becoming a singer. She started working with Peter Sprague singing Jazz, R & B and Brazilian music on the streets of Del Mar, California.

Kevyn sang with local San Diego groups until she was discovered by the famous Brazilian legend, Sergio Mendes. She toured and recorded with Sergio for eight years, as she developed her own very personal vocal style.

Kevyn's first two solo releases were on Nova records entitled Kevyn Lettau and Braziljazz respectively. She immediately garnered critical acclaim and a loyal following both in the U.S. and abroad, particularly in Japan and the Philippines, where she achieved near superstar status. She was a spokes model for a San Miguel soft drink, with multiple television commercials and print ads running there for years.

In 1992, Kevyn signed with JVC Music, where she continued her journey of musical and personal exploration. She recorded four albums for JVC including Simple Life in 1992, Another Season in 1994, Universal Language in 1995 and The Language of Flowers in 1998. 1999 brought the release of her greatest hits collection entitled Miracle Voice: The Best of Kevyn Lettau.

In 2000, Universal Music released Kevyn's Police CD, which was Kevyn's exploration of the music from the pop/rock genre-bending group, The Police. She followed in 2001, with another Universal Music release entitled Little Things.

"I feel like music has to grow and change as I do the same. I hate to have to categorize my music as one style or another. It seems impossible to put it into one small box with a neat bow wrapped around it! My hope is just to make good music one song at a time!"

    Amazing versions of police-music! And what a beautiful voice! It´s simply amazing. These songs, performed by Kevyn Lettau, are now enabled to show their own grace!! Thank you very much for these pearls!!

  • New renditions of Standard Police Hits
    author: Franz

    I have always liked to listen and compare different versions of the same song. Since there was Filipino Version of Every Little Thing He (She) Does Is Magic done by M.Y.M.P. (Make Your Momma Proud), I thought I should try to listen to Kevyn Lettau's version. It was done quite well! Not all the songs fit Ms. Lettau's style but I loved her versions of Murder By Numbers, Walking In YOur Footsteps, and Synchronicity 1! I hope that she continues to make more music!

  • Beautiful Voice but selling herself short....
    author: Julia Starbuck

    Kevyn has a really beautiful voice however I think she is selling herself short by doing other people's music. I would like to see her do her own lyrics, as I am sure she is talented enough for that as well. Just in case she needs a composer I do know one very talented fellow. Kevyn knows how to contact me if she desires to do so.

    One single word, wonderful.

  • Good Cover
    author: Rob

    Never being a real fan of The Police.I wasn't sure if I should buy this CD,but I'm glad I did.Some of the songs sounded better then the original to me.A good cover CD and one that is worth having in any CD collection.

  • Listen..............
    author: Cory Simmons

    I love Kevyn's voice and ecletic repetoire. Her versions of these songs by Sting are interestingly arranged and a couple are keepers, but in general this CD is a small touch below her best work. If you love both her voice and Sting's then buy it, otherwise sample a few tunes first. I am still glad to own it.

  • Really great cover versions of the Police!
    author: John Philip

    If you enjoy listenening to the yellowjackets, you'll love the Tracks on this CD which were mostly arranged by Russel Ferrante (Piano, Yellowjackets).
