He's funky. He's experienced. He's made a living as a Career Musician in the belly of it all: Los Angeles. Kevin was discovered by none other than George Duke in a recording studio when Kevin was only 22. The opportunity to work on Duke's sessions was only a piece of what led Kevin to become as in-demand as he is now.
