weddings. These days, prier to touring, Kevin shared an apartment with Howie D
and his cousin Brian. His free time is spent weightlifting, dancing, shooting
hoops, playing football, and writing music at his keyboards. Ask him to describe
life in the studio and he'll say, "Sing. Eat. Sing. Sing. Eat. Sing. SLEEP!!!" And
