KEVIN
Kevin Madrinan, better known by his stage name Kevlove, ignited his musical journey during an elementary school graduation in the 90s, a moment that marked the beginning of his deep dive into the world of music. Influenced by impromptu jam sessions and performances with family, Kevlove developed a rich, eclectic taste in music early on. His exposure to a wide array of genres, from the soulful rhythms of funk and disco to the iconic sounds of 80s and 90s pop-rock, laid the groundwork for his unique sound.
Kevlove didn't just stop at exploring; he began to experiment, mixing these genres with the pulsating beats of hip-hop, house, and club music, creating a vibrant tapestry of sound. His style, deeply inspired by the party-rocking stylings of legends like DJ AM, Jazzy Jeff, and The Rub DJs, reflects an all-inclusive approach and a mastery of turntable techniques.
For Kevlove, DJing is more than just playing music; it's about creating a connection. "What is most important to me in DJing or any project I undertake is to genuinely have the love for it. This foundation is imperative because everything else after falls into place - people begin to see your vision, you start connecting and building relationships, and opportunity begins to present itself," he shares. This philosophy has been the cornerstone of his career, guiding him as he continues to captivate audiences with his dynamic sets and genuine passion for music.
