With skills and artistry this former DJ turned Singer-Songwriter, strives to take everyone to a higher level of consciousness while embracing and channeling his world-beat influences and personal growth. His music is promoting a theme of multiculturalism, spiritual enlightenment, artistic expression and positivism.
Kēvens started his journey spinning records in Miami but the innately poetic performer’s musical roots were more clearly witnessed when he joined the groundbreaking, progressive reggae group: Le Coup, with Richard and Anthony Booker. In fact, family matriarch Cedella Marley Booker told young Kēvens very early in his musical career: "Like a letter, you must write a song with purpose."
His live shows consist of a lush drum n bass amalgam of vocal dexterity and musicianship, mixed with a progressive rock-reggae dub style and stunning dance as well as visual imagery.
Kēvens' knack for the timely and profound has enabled him to tour all over the world and finds him along side an eclectic array of legends and prodigies including: Steven Tyler, Ice Cube, Tiestö, Daft Punk, Duran Duran, Carlos Santana, The Jacksons to name a few.
This global citizen coined the ultimate mantra:
“Positivity is a Necessity”

I've searched so long for a love like this
Made so many wrong turns in my time
I've been burned in so many different places
Before I could find the love of my life
Show me a man who is sinless my dear
Show me a man who is blameless my dear
Chorus
Verse 2
Can you hear the birds in their own sweet melodies?
Do you hear angels in their lovely harmonies?
Singing your name, your lovely name
Do I have the strength to go on without your love?
Must I go on, should I go on, can I go on, must I do I?
Chorus
Please don't leave me now! [x4]

Show me a man who is sinless my dear
Show me a man who is blameless darling
Chorus
Please don't leave me now! [x4]
Verse 3
I've searched so long for a love like this
Made so many wrong turns in my time
I've been burned in so many different places
Before I could find the love of my life
It's you baby, the one and only!
It's you my love, you're the only one for me!
Don't ever leave me, no, no, no, no, no don't leave eheh!
Please don't leave me now, ah ow!
Please don't leave me now!
Please don't leave me!
No no, please don't leave me!
Please don't leave me now!
