| About kEVIN jAMES vERSION |
Kevin James Holland was born in Montgomery County PA to landowners, James and Abigail MulHolland. Their only child, Kevin was home schooled until a golfing accident rendered his father unable to maintain his position at work. At 17, he dropped the "Mul" from his surname and moved out of their Red Hill townhouse apartment. Holland found affordable room and board in an unfurnished carriage house in Schwenksville, PA and began to apply to numerous colleges and universities. As his education was incomplete, he fudged certain achievements and degrees in the application process. Awarded a full scholarship and a small stipend at Vassar College, his first choice, Holland was deemed "not sufficiently engaged" in his schoolwork during his first semester. He dropped out in the winter of 1992 and was inactive for a year and a half. He then attended a small liberal arts college in Indiana whose name he could not recollect at the time of this interview, but dropped out after it was learned that he was not attending class at all.
The next 5 years found Holland in such places as Miami FL, Atlanta GA, Raleigh NC, Washington D.C., Richmond VA, Baltimore MD, Philadelphia, New York City, Boston MA and New Orleans, where he made various street recordings. The material from this period is commonly regarded as his strongest, but his resistance to releasing his material rendered him unknown until widespread use of the Internet and mp3 downloading took hold. Fans from several continents began to download his recordings, but Holland received no remuneration. Disregarding contact from several major record labels, speculation arose as to Holland's mental health. A 2002 benefit concert series was held in Toronto in order to raise funds for much needed dental work.
