Biography
When an artiste begins to exceed expectations, it’s only natural for his or her name to be whispered in the classrooms, halls and board meetings. These whispers are of KEVIN LESTER. Kevin was voted Music Act of the Year 2011 by ELLE Magazine Singapore. With success in focus, he has rocked stages in New York, Cannes, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and regionally in Malaysia and Indonesia, including his hometown of Singapore. Upon releasing his critically acclaimed debut album, “Let’s Talk About Kevin Lester”, in 2010, it garnered high rotation and rave reviews which led to UK’s The Guardian picking “Rockstar 2.0“, the first official radio single from the album, as its top 35 songs from around the world for January of 2011. Legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, KISS, Alice Cooper) described Kevin Lester as “fantastic” at the recent keynote address at Music Matters 2012. And if that wasn’t enough, he formed and fronts, SIXX – voted the best Singapore band at a recent poll of youths in Singapore in 2012. SIXX released their debut single “Supersonic” in Cannes in February of 2012 at Marché International du Disque et de l’Edition Musicale (MIDEM) to rousing reviews. “The Lion City Boy” is back in the studio, writing and recording his next album which promises a sonically deeper and more mature theme through his storytelling.
