While attending high school, he was chosen to participate in the highly prestigious North Carolina Honors Chorus.

Determined to take his career to greater heights and gain a deeper knowledge of the music business, Kevin worked with Grammy Award-winning artist India Arie as a production assistant on the Voyage to India tour.
