Bio:

There are artists who’ve got something, and there are artists who’ve got it, and upon hearing his voice for the first time, it’s obvious that Kevin Michael is firmly in the latter category. With an irresistible blend of soul, funk, r&b and pop, he invokes greats from the past while bringing something totally new to the game - he honors the roots of r&b while imagining it anew.

Growing up, Kevin heard the music within, and he began recording as a teen. “At 16, I wrote my first song,” he recalls. “I woke up in the studio one night and something literally clicked in my head! I really heard it, so I said, ‘I better write this down.’ For Kevin, music was the only option worth considering. He recounts, “I had the offer of a full scholarship to Hofstra, but I never seriously thought about it. I feel real strongly about doing what it is you want to do.”

Kevin Michael’s YaDig? EP, available only on Itunes, is an introduction to Kevin’s unique sound and style in advance of his album release on October 2, 2007. “We All Want The Same Thing” is included in two ways: the hip-hop inflected version featuring Lupe Fiasco, and the stripped-down acoustic style featuring guitarist and beatboxer Akil Dasan, who also also appears on the acoustic versions of “Vicki Secrets” and “It Don’t Make Any Difference To Me” featured on the EP.

“We All Want The Same Thing,” the EP’s opener, is both a statement of purpose and roots for the artist who lived in worlds both black and white (“All my gangster friends/and all my skater friends/We all want the same thing/DJ’s in the clubs/Jesus freaks and thugs/We all want the same things”).

“Vicki Secrets” showcases Kevin’s falsetto, and proves him as a singer with considerable sex appeal who knows how to communicate to the ladies. And then there’s Kevin’s ode to Michael Jackson, “Stone Cold Killa,” which weaves a Latin percussive feel with snappy pop phrasing and layered vocal harmonies to conjure up a world of good times, beautiful women and smiles on the dance floor.

“It Don’t Make Any Difference To Me” shows both the range of Kevin’s songwriting abilities and the depth of his pride in who he is (“All you gotta do is look at me/Three generations of my family you see/People treat you different/When you’re in between/He was black and she was white/You know that most people thought that it wasn’t right/I can still remember what she used to say/It don’t make any difference to me”). The song combines an irresistible pop feel with poignant lyrics, and what emerges is a trans-racial modern day anthem. The album version of the song was produced by and featuring Wyclef Jean, bringing a Caribbean flavor to the mix.

“I don’t know where I begin and the music stops,” Kevin professes. With a stunning debut ready to be unleashed upon an unsuspecting music public, this young man brimming with soul and confidence is ready to take his vision on the road and to the next level.

WATCH OUT FOR THE YOYO EFFECT!


Photobucket



Normalerweise basteln sie Beats für Künstler wie Mobb Deep, Ghostface Killah oder 50 Cent, am 10.07.09 tun sie es auch für euch. Die zwei Revolutionäre des "Live- Produzierens "sind zu Gast im Dot Club im Herzen Berlins. DJ Exile und DJ DAY aus Kalifornien/USA rücken an mit 2 MPCs und 2 Plattenspielern, bearbeiten alte Klassiker und entwickeln die Hits von Morgen. Jeder Song fließt, wie bei einem DJ Set ineinander. So etwas gab es zuvor noch nie in der in der Bundes- Rapublik!

Unterstützt werden die beiden von den DJs Ghanaian Stallion und DJ Skare, die für den gewohnt guten Sound auf den "Everything Remains Raw" Veranstaltungen sorgen. Das ganze fungiert als Auftakt für die neue Veranstaltungsreihe YOYO EFFECT, die dann an jedem 2. Freitag im Dot Club stattfinden wird. Der YOYO EFFECT bringt euch wie beim gewichtsbedingten „Jo-Jo-Effekt“ die guten Hip Hop Parties zurück- die Diät ist also dahin und es gibt die volle Packung. Zu jedem Termin werden unterschiedliche Bereiche der urbanen Szene
