Kevin
Aviance, the man with catwalk fling, long nails, fierce voice,
and a personality of gold. Where does such a talent come from
we asked? "I was a fierce-like child born and raised in Richmond,
Virginia." His parents are Christians that have been very supportive
all of his life, "I was not deprived at all" Kevin says he,
"got to experience a lot." He remembers at a very young age
having a t-shirt with a star on it, even then he knew he was
going to be an entertainer, "I wore that until I couldn't wear
it anymore, I think my early teens." Kevin laughs.
If you haven't seen Kevin perform, it is one of many flavors.
"I am a big fashion fan, Paris, Milan", he says. He stays somewhat
current, and if you have seen him perform here in the past you
know he always looks good. He has pulled away a little from
his past "dark look" as he describes it. "I wear jeans now.
I used to not give a fuck, but now I have to give a fuck," Kevin
states. He goes on to explain how performing for more then just
the gay community, rounding out his image helps others enjoy
his energy filled show.
"Alive" is Kevin's most recent song. His other songs include:
"Din Da Da", "Rhythm is my Bitch", and "Cunty." "Alive" is already
in the top 10 on the Billboard charts and its release was just
a few weeks ago. His music is not computerized jumble, 5 writers
sat down to compose a song that would in the end be remixed
by Victor Calderone, Junior Vasquez and more. Tony Moran produced
the song. "I had this disco loop that made me feel good," Kevin
says, "disco really makes me happy. I am a big beat driven person."
The writers collaborated and brought us, "Alive". Kevin says
that, "After 9-11 happened it changed my whole mind." A song
with so much life is what we need.
I think that it is important to point out Kevin's newest venture
in performing. At the Gay and Lesbian Business convention in
NYC a few weeks ago Kevin sang live with his band. "It is a
big step for me," he says, "I want people to know I have some
musical talent." That is something Kevin does have. If you are
