Broken Scar's Kevin is the cool one of the group. Despite all his music success (four charted singles, three number 1 hits!!!) and popularity, he remains down to earth and humble. Very receptive to his fans, he never fails to take the time to say hi. ("this is a subliminal message - www.brokenscar.com, free song downloads!") Kevin, the hardworking and conscientious person that he is, is responsible for all the sounds you hear on the show. He is also the reason there's a podcast.
The sound guys never get enough acknowledgment for all the work they do but everything you hear (jingle, sweepers, ids, music bed, even the 'tick tocks') takes a lot of hard work and effort. Listen to The LLH and notice all the sounds involved, we have Kevin to thank for that!
Kevin, the soundboard, and his BIG FRIENDLY SMILE
Before meeting Kevin, i had heard about his accomplishments and ability as a musician from Lionel and Asami, and i imagined a bit of an arrogant prick. Unexpectedly, it surprised me how easy and fun he was to work with. He's also much funnier than he looks. I've not had much time for social interaction with Kevin but i have great respect for how well he's able to balance all the different elements in his life structure - a strong faith, marriage, friends, career: musician, career: sound engineer... giving adequate time, energy and attention into each component. As the individual who has the least life experience and is somewhat more naive, Kevin's key advice to me is... to date my friends. Don't take this out of context though, he just happened to find his life partner among his friends and just wants me to be open to the idea.
Another thing about Kevin is his hair! It always falls into place, there are no split ends, it’s bouncy and shiny and he never seems to have a bad hair day! And when he flips his hair, it's like a shampoo commercial. I have a suspicion he spends more time on his hair than he admits. He probably owns a straightener but out of fear of killing his rock star image, he denies this. Or maybe i'm just saying that because I’m jealous, just a little bit.
