Biography

Kevin was found playing "Silent Night" on the piano at 18 months of age. He started learning the piano regularly at 4 and began writing music at 8. At 14, he put on performances with the music group he founded called "The Well-Tempered Clavichord". Despite his poor vision, he was still determined to be a pianist.

His first performance in Asia was in Taiwan, in 2002.

He has released eight albums, including a compilation album, and two songbooks, and is working on a new album. He also has released a Japan-only CD and songbook.

Kern is married to Pamela Gibbs, who has helped him on his albums and plays the rainstick on "The Winding Path"; Kern mentions her in the credits in his later albums.

It is revealed on his official website that he is currently working on his eighth studio album, due out in late 2008.
