who splits his time between his home in Calgary, Canada and his home away from home in Santiago, Chile. Kevin has played guitar for over 40 years and once jammed with the legendary Albert Collins (backstage and unplugged, but still!). For a brief time in the late 80\u2019s, he played in a band covering Judas Priest, AC\/DC, Scorpions and a few others. His musical influences are varied, giving way to experiment with different mixes of instruments; accordion, quena, cello, mandolin, horns, ukulele, sikus and various percussion instruments. Kevin plays most of the instruments himself, but does work with professional studio musicians when he gets in over his head, or when he needs something very specialized or specific that he can\u2019t play himself. Kevin writes personal songs about his many lived experiences, you\u2019ll often see him in airports or bike paths when he\u2019s not in the studio writing new music. With a career mostly in the creative arts with plenty of exploration and experimentation, Kevin eventually founded a company that was one of the pioneers in transmedia storytelling, working with novelists, musicians, actors and social media influencers, creating one of the best story experiences of its day, called\u00a0<strong>One Child<\/strong>. At the 2011 Digital Book Awards in NYC, his project, self-published\u00a0<strong>One Child<\/strong>\u00a0lost to Jay-Z and his book entitled\u00a0<strong>DeCoded<\/strong>, published by Random House, for Best Transmedia Project. Not bad for some little publishing project out of Calgary, eh?TM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
