Physical Characteristics
Meet the Act
My name is Kevin, I was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Shanghai, China. I first began taking piano lessons at the age of 6 and fell in love with it quickly. I started performing as a teenager in and out of middle school, and was certain around that time that music would be a big part of my future. At 18 years old, I came to Boston to study performance and composition at Berklee College of Music, exposing me to a great deal of musical styles and opportunities to perform, compose, record, and collaborate. I am currently 21 years old, graduated from Berklee, and am based in New York City ... study at NYU in the Jazz Studies program and begin my career here.
Virtual Services Offer
Online piano lessons
I had experience as a teacher since I was in high school, and am happy to provide piano lessons to online clients. I teach in a very hands-on style by using repertoire of interest to the student to advance their playing and knowledge of music. I can teach in a variety of styles, including Classical, jazz, pop, R&B, and blues, and am also willing to teach composition to the student should they be interested.
Remote session work
I am able to record piano and/or keyboard parts for anyone's project remotely using my equipment. I have a great deal of experience recording for other people, including on albums and EPs as a session pianist.
