'Many are called, few are chosen' is a phrase that rings true quite frequently in the music industry. Some artists chose the field of entertainment, while others were chosen and blessed with the special gifts required for longevity.
Born Everton Smith given the nickname Kevin and affectionately known to his fans as Kehv, is definitely one of the chosen. While listening to his tracks, it's easy to sense that singing for Kehv, is not just a past time. It's his passion.
Kehv, born and raised in the birthplace of Reggae Legend Bob Marley, in St Ann's, Jamaica, like many other artists got introduced to the world of music singing in the church choir. With no formal training, Kehv became a master pianist as well as an accomplished guitarist. He found his calling at the early age of ten and realized that God made him for this. Kehv says, “I did not choose this, it chose me.”
After migrating to the United States, Kehv settled in Miami where he recorded his first single, “Half Way There” in 1995. While playing both instruments by ear showcases his natural abilities, it's his velvety smooth vocals like in the song “Love Slave” that have listeners calling their local radio stations requesting his tracks. The singles “Double Exposed”, “Believer”, and “Masquerade” are now on the radio stations most wanted lists. You can hear his music being played on Hot 105.1 and Island Vibe Radio. Listeners as far away as the UK are currently requesting his hits “Masquerade”, “Here You Say” and “War and Violence”.
Kehv has worked with such greats as Kymani Marley, Wyclef Jean and Tony Kelly. He has shared the stage with Beenie Man, Shaggy, Sean Kingston, Ashanti, Derrick Morgan from Morgan Heritage and many others. He has also performed on MTV and BET.
Blessed from birth with extraordinary talents Kehv has the ability to move though any genre of music. Singing his native sound of Reggae and sliding right into R&B, Hip Hop and Pop music, Kehv constantly proves that anything is possible using the gifts that one is blessed with.
His newly formed label Impressionist Music is currently teaming up with Metronome Productions to produce Kehv’s first solo album. This album will showcase his multitalented abilities in the areas of Reggae, R&B and Pop music. Look for this album to come your way in 2009.
With his humble demeanor, spiritual awareness and unquestionable talent, exhibiting maturity earned through actual years of life, love, pain, joy and experience Kehv makes music that is therapeutic, all around good, and most of all real. Take a listen and you will instantly become a fan. Looking to leave a mark in the music world, Kehv is shamelessly leading by example, inspiring others to be creative and setting themselves apart from the masses.
For someone who is considered to be a new artist, He has done a lot to certify his professionalism. Blessed from birth, his name is Kehv and there is none like him
