The position afforded Kevin the opportunity to work with great and popular musicians from all genres.

He has appeared on various TV shows from Hollywood Squares to VIP to Girlfriends, Days of Our Lives, Royal Pains, HGTV, Oprah’s OWN, The History Channel, to name a few. But his passion is clearly seen when he is on stage performing as he continues to embrace his true passion, the love of music.

In November, 2010, Kevin released the CD Zen Food that debuted in the Top Five on the Billboard Jazz Chart and was Kevin’s fastest-selling record ever.
