'KEVIN KITCHEN?' - a name that many people have tried to change, but have never come up with anything more memorable.
He's done it all. From the smallest club, to his 1986 performance at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Kevin started of as a writer composing songs for top artists such as Eurovision Song Contest Winner, Dana; American singer Laura Brannigan and the unique black vocal harmony group, The Chi-Lites. This led to writing collaborations with Steve Kipner, Richard Kerr and top writer Albert Hammond, with whom Kevin co-wrote Albert's highly successful album, 'Rescue Me'.
In the 80's, Kevin enjoyed top 40 success with his song, 'Put my arms around you', taken from the highly acclaimed album, 'Split Personality' produced by Spandau Ballet production team, Tony Swain and Steve Jolley. KK production projects include all girl band 'Global Warming', boy racer band, 'Jump the Lights' and the actress and presenter Emma Noble.
Since 1992, Kevin is in big demand as a composer of gameshow music. Shows include, Dale's Supermarket Sweep and Bruce's Price is Right, as well as many other shows in Europe and America.
THE PERFORMER
A quirky Yorkshireman - he doesn't sound like he looks!
Yes, Kevin's Unique vocal style is perhaps more fitting to American soul and R&B singers than his native Barnsley. Kevin Kitchen has never been just another singer. 'A voice with the warmth of Stevie Wonder and the energy of Michael Jackson' is how singer Nik Kershaw described him. Now well established on the contemporary music scene, Kevin's act features his own songs plus refreshingly interesting versions of classics such as Pet Shop Boys and The Bangles. With his Jazzy/ Flamenco/ Funky acoustic guitar, and his own inimitable sense of humour, stand by for a truly entertaining night.
