DOWNLOAD BIO
Most kids grow up amusing themselves with G.I. Joes, Tonka Trucks
and Sunday morning cartoons. Kevin Hammond, however, was raised in
a household of musical instruments. He taught himself guitar as a
child and began to hone his songwriting abilities as a teenager.
Unsatisfied with his life in retail sales, Hammond quit his day
job, traded in his car for a van, and became a musical nomad. The
committed leap-of-faith was enough to garner the attention of New
York’s A&M/Octone Records which has Hammond’s debut album
slated for release this fall. The album’s lead single, “Broken
Down,” showcases Hammond’s distinctive ability to bounce between
feathery falsetto and full-bodied modal register. The captivating
contrast is both addictive and sure to distinguish Hammond from the
pack. It is a mixture of unique talent, hard work, and dedication
which has poised Hammond to be America’s next breakout
singer-songwriter and yet another world-class artist in a string of
A&M/Octone successes.
