BIO

Kevin California is a Toronto-based, Canadian singer-songwriter-producer and multi-instrumentalist whose musical origins began from the warmth of the west coast in 2014. A decade has passed and he has taken with him a solo artistry compact with picturesque music videos and emotionally charged live performances from the footsteps of Venice Beach to l’amour de Montréal and now to The Beaches of Toronto. His adage has been one thing and one thing only, “I go wherever the music takes me”.

This solo artist’s eloquent lyrics and soulful compositions move the nature in which he finds himself. His chill and relaxing songwriting uplifts with flavours from folk and rock, to roots and blues, to reggae taking anyone on a daydream of their own. 

After releasing two follow-up singles, ‘I Am’ and ‘Golden Dreams’ to his affectionately-titled debut EP, “Dear Mom” Kevin California has lifted our spirits with his second EP, TIMELESS. The title track sums up this wild adventure from country to country and the effect that following one’s dream has on the mind and essence of one’s self. Writing TIMELESS started during his romance with Venice Beach and finished in la ville de Montréal with the album masters recorded close to the street art-inspired locale of Mont-Royal and some overdubbing completed in and around Toronto. Kevin California’s latest self-produced work of art honestly expresses himself and he admits, “I started writing these songs in one place only to finish them in an entirely different environment”. There is an obvious mashup of feelings and emotions that surface when listening to the songs and recordings accurately reflecting the writing and production process itself.

Throughout his career, Kevin has performed over 100 shows in Canada and the United States including a debut performance for West Coast Songwriters in California and appearances at the iconic House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and Move Music Fest in the capital of New York. More recently hitting the road solo last year, Kevin California performed his TIMELESS Tour for all his affectionately called “Dreamers” from all walks of life in his home province of Ontario and neighbouring Quebec at various venues, breweries, performance lounges and centres as far north as Wawa, as far south as Ridgeway, as far west as Stratford, and as far east as Granby. The multi-provincial tour has so far included close to 50 shows with alumni performances at The Linsmore Tavern in Toronto and Sawdust City Brewing in Gravenhurst, and multiple-show appearances at The Acoustic Grill in Picton, Brimstone Brewing in Fort Erie, Blackburn Brew House in Niagara Falls, Tilted Glass Brewing in Bowmanville, and New Ontario Brewing in North Bay. Concluding last year’s touring cycle, Kevin California opened for Ontario Folk Music Awards Performing Artist of the Year and three-time Juno nominee, Julian Taylor at The Sanctuary Centre for the Arts and recently released a live performance video captivating moments from the event.

Since the release of his second EP, TIMELESS this Toronto-based indie folk artist has placed multiple feature interviews on campus and community radio stations across the country. Songs on the TIMELESS EP enjoyed countless airplay domestically and internationally and debuted at #9 on the National Folk/Roots/Blues Chart by Earshot. His music has been added to popular Spotify playlists and his TIMELESS and “Dear Mom” music videos have premiered on renowned blog, Canadian Beats. Additional achievements include two televised performances on ROGERS TV, being chosen as a select few by curators to present his original music to ten-time Grammy Award winner, Brandi Carlile in a songwriting circle hosted by Grammy U, and attending The 56th Grammy Awards.
