“I was always very hesitant to put a project out, I always strive to do a bit of everything in my music, and
was worrisome it would cause me to feel boxed in”​ ​says ​KVNE​. “The project is about the hardships and

depression.”

About KVNE

Kevin Edworthy​, professionally known as ​KVNE​, was born November 14, 1991, in Hamilton, Ontario.
Aside from being an upcoming urban artist, he is also an executive producer, and founding partner of
independent label, The KillaKartel.

With a guitar in hand from the young age of 11, Kevin could never put it down, nor get music out of his
head. ​Kevin started his first band by the age of 13, which went on to open for Marianas Trench,
and toured with other iconic Canadian acts such as, Hedley, Alexisonfire, and Avril Lavigne​. In the
years later, Kevin found himself gravitating more towards writing and engineering. Under the wing of
music mentors and producers such as, Ashton Adams and Bryan Cockett, Kevin was reminded that
making music was exactly what he needed to be doing.

Writing inspired by life experiences, accompanied by his smooth R&B melodies and rumbling 808 trap
percussion, ​KVNE​ undoubtedly demonstrates his versatility. With musical influences such as Tory Lanez,
Post Malone, and Blackbear, his sound is catered to audiences across the board.

Having co-founded independent recording label, The KillaKartel, with partner Solomon Mallo​,
Kevin proves making music is more than just being an artist, it’s about building a community. With 15
different producers working with them to date, the two together hope to bridge the gap between artist,
genre, and record label in the local music scene.

“​To us, music is much more than breaking charts and doing it for the monetary return. We want to
instill that you really don’t need money to pursue what you love- just passion and a direction​,”
says KVNE. “​Our label is about creating opportunities for others- it is about bringing a sense of
community back to artistry. I want to make music, but I want to do it differently - I want to do it
positively.​ ”
