== Early career ==
Bryant was born in Sydney, New South Wales, although he identifies himself with Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, where he was an electrician in the gold mines.
In the 1970s Bryant fronted his own band called 'Bryan Dennis and the Country Club'. He also used the name 'Bryan Dennis' when he hosted a country music show on 6KG in Kalgoorlie from 1973 to 1980, before he was thrown off air for playing the parody song, "I'm Heaving On A Jet Plane".
He moved to Perth and began playing bawdy songs as a hobby, singing at pubs and Australian rules football clubs. In 1984 he put together a cassette of his songs called '[Your Average Australian Yobbo'', which he sold at gigs and by mail order. He managed to sell 22,000 copies of the cassette before it was eventually transferred to LP, where it went on to sell many thousands more.
He is notable as Perth's most famous comedian.
His humor is regarded as political correctness/politically incorrect.
As one of Australia's most successful comedians, he continues to tour and perform an average of 120 concerts world wide each year
2010 will see the release of his 15th album, EXCESS ALL AREAS
With no radio airplay and little television exposure, KEVIN BLOODY WILSON has sold more that 3.5 million albums
Wilson is married, and his wife Betty comes on tour with him
She can normally be seen selling merchandise - and has even appeared on guest vocals in a few of his songs, including "Dick'taphone".
Kevin appeared on the popular television show 'Enough Rope' with Andrew Denton in October 2008, which resulted with the shows highest ratings of the year
"The Genie in the Bottle" is a country song Kevin co-wrote with Adam Harvey that spent more than 6 weeks on the Australian Country Singles chart as well as reaching the number one video spot on the Country Music Television Channel in 2008

Wilson's recordings are mainly sold through his website, and he has licensed them to mail order companies in different countries to provide easier distribution. In 2003 he placed a free mp3 on his website called ''The Shane Warne Song'', a song about the extracurricular exploits of the controversial Australian cricketer.
In 2007, Agence France-Presse note that Wilson's Christmas songs were popular downloads on YouTube.
== Touring ==
He regularly tours, spending about six months each year overseas. His tours include visiting less populous venues such as small towns in New Zealand where he has a large following. The majority of his fans are male and drawn from a wide age range - from 14 to 90. A favourite pastime of his (he almost always meets his fans afterwards) is autographing bare female breasts. When dedicating an autograph, it is not unusual for him to put "To _____, get fucked! Kev!". During several tours, Kevin has been joined by his daughter Jenny Talia.
While visiting Canada on a world tour, Kevin alleges that he was told that due to the high level of taboo surrounding the word, he was not allowed to say "cunt" in Canada. It is unknown whether this was an order or a suggestion. Whatever the case, Kevin made a note of this and walked onto the stage in Toronto and the first song he sang was his now somewhat infamous "You Can't Say Cunt In Canada".
==Website==
Wilson was the first Australian performing artist to have a website which a friend set up for him in 1993, which has since been a major source of album and product sales. He also runs an internet radio station kevfm.com, which was the first 24-hour adult comedy radio station.
== Recording and production studios ==
In 2006, Kev expanded his business interests by purchasing the recording and production studios that he recorded his first 2 albums at some 20 years earlier. PARAMOUNT MEDIA is a state of the art studio in Wanneroo in Western Australia that diversifies Wilson's media empire to create documentaries and pilots for TV shows.

The lyrics of Kevin Bloody Wilson's song "She's the Sorta Sheila for Me" tell the story of a man's love for a woman who is not conventionally attractive and has some rather unpleasant habits. In the first verse, the man acknowledges that others might find his partner unappealing, but to him, she's perfect. He likens her to a dog, saying that if he had a dog that looked like her, he'd have to shave its arse and teach it to walk backward. However, he points out that no animal could match her sexual prowess, and therefore she's the perfect woman for him.
The subsequent verses continue in the same vein, with the man describing his partner's physical flaws and habits but always adding that she's "the sorta sheila for me." He explains that he doesn't care that she's overweight or that he has to follow a map to find his way around her body. He even goes as far as saying that, with enough alcohol, she turns into a supermodel. The final verse reveals that she's deaf and dumb and that her late father left her a pub, making her a catch in the man's eyes.
Overall, the song is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to those who don't fit into society's narrow definition of beauty but still have something to offer. It's a celebration of love that transcends physical appearance and baseless societal norms.
