Artist History Kevin was born in March of 1965 and at the age of seven, began playing the piano. When he was 26 he expressed an interest in writing classical music. A composer friend offered to tutor Kevin in the basics of classical style composition. After nearly two years as his student, Kevin's friend moved to Seattle, leaving Kevin on his own. Kevin began to delve into the scores of Mozart, Haydn and J.C. Bach. He taught himself the remainder of what he needed to know. Today, Kevin remains an active, yet undiscovered, composer. His music is enjoyed by family and friends. Thanks to the internet, Kevin is able to bring his music to the masses. He prefers the style of Mozart and Haydn. His one wish is that one day, during his lifetime, his music will be performed. If you or anyone you know could make this come true, please contact Kevin. His desire is merely to bring happiness to people through his music.

Press Reviews Several music professionals (and then some) have heard Kevin's work and have had nothing but positive things to say: "This is as close to Mozart as you can come, without being Mozart." -- George Gellis, Former Executive Director, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, San Francisco; "The music is well done. And isn't it great to finally have someone like Harris who hasn't fallen off the cliff into contemporary music!" -- Al Brunswick, Music Education Dept., University of California at Berkeley; "This is first rate music. If I found the score of this music on old parchment paper in an old book shop in Salzburg, I could have mistaken it for a lost work of Mozart's." -- Harold Kaska, Friend, San Francisco
