Kevin Stewart Jopp. KSJ was born in Buffalo, New York on July 1st, 1990. He started showing an interest at music at the age of 3, and began serious musical studies at the age of 8. He showed a deep musically intellectual understanding of the music world at the age of seven, and at the age of 9 was said to be a prodigy [of the third degree] by his first piano mentor Roslyn Amo. Today, he conitnues his studies with an addition to his major instrument the piano. He now studies privately the cello with Feng Hew of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and continues his piano studies further with Steven Bianchi, the founder of the Amherst School of Music. He plans to pursue his musical career after attaining his Ph.D. at the Juilliard school. He aspires to become a conductor, conducting many orchestras. He respects many people with high regards. JoAnn Falletta, the conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Kevin holds with great respect, as well as the famous maestro Seiji Ozawa. Kevin has also a great affinity for the imfamous violin virtuoso Anne Sophie Mutter. With little time in his past, this refreshing new light has much to offer to the musical world. His musical ideas are unique, and deeply cleansing to the ear because they are not what one might expect to hear. Every chance one may receive, this humble person urges you to "jump at the opportunity" to see this bright new light. This could quite possibly be the entryway into another great historically musical mind.
