BIO

After releasing two follow-up singles, ‘I Am’ and ‘Golden Dreams’ to his affectionately-titled debut EP, “Dear Mom” Kevin California lifted our spirits with his second EP, TIMELESS. The writing of these TIMELESS songs started during his romance on Venice Beach, where he recorded his previous EP and singles, and were finished in la ville de Montréal. There, the album masters were recorded close to the street art-inspired locale of Mont-Royal and finishing touches were completed around Toronto. 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. Kevin California’s 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 accurately reflecting the writing and production process itself. This singer-songwriter’s eloquent lyrics and soulful compositions move the nature in which he finds himself. His chill and relaxing vibes uplift with flavours from folk and rock to roots and blues to reggae taking his listeners on a daydream of their own.

Since the release of his second EP, TIMELESS Kevin California has placed multiple feature interviews on campus and community radio stations across the country. Songs on the TIMELESS EP enjoyed countless airplay domestically debuting at #9 on Canada’s National Folk/Roots/Blues Chart by Earshot. His music has been added to popular Spotify playlists in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada and his scenic and heartfelt videos for TIMELESS and “Dear Mom” have premiered on renowned blog, Canadian Beats. Additional achievements include being chosen as a select few by curators to present his original music to eleven-time Grammy Award winner, Brandi Carlile in a songwriting circle hosted by Grammy U, and attending the 56th Grammy Awards.
