is always a very fun place to sing and last night was no different.

I was lucky enough to have a very appreciative audience member last night who filmed this and they told me they were a massive fan of Meat Loaf, and they’ve followed all his concerts since the late 1970s.

They paid me a great compliment in saying they’ve seen lots of singers perform Meat Loaf songs through the years but that mine was the closest in capturing the power and intensity of the big man himself 😃

I’ve shared different covers over the years on social media of me singing Anything For Love, but I intentionally went for something different last night. My vocal coach has been encouraging me to explore lower keys so that I’m not singing at the top of my range all the time.

It’s kind of a neurodivergence thing with me to do with rigidity but I always felt strange about lowering the keys of songs anymore than a tone (which is the common transposition of songs between studio and live versions), even if my voice naturally lies in a different place to those artists.

Rebecca’s been getting me to overcome that, and what’s really helped is church choir where we transpose hymns all the time to what fits with the group.

So here’s Anything For Love but transposed. I find in this register I can still capture the dramatic intensity of the song without blowing my voice out. 😀

Always a pleasure to perform “Embrace The World” four years on 🌍

At the time I wrote it, I didn’t have any groups I felt I belonged to or a job or a purpose. COVID only exacerbated the problem and I had this sense that I really wanted my life to begin. And I wanted to achieve that through this song. 🎵

What resulted is that I managed to find purpose and belonging through the process of recording and releasing this song, and it’s transferred into other areas of my life too. 😀

Thanks to for the camera work 📸

2 DAYS UNTIL SEIZE THE MOMENT RELEASES

Who’s this cheeky chappie? Well allow me to (re)-introduce myself. 😀

My name is Kevin. I’m from Cork and I’ve been singing since before I could talk. Here’s a bit about the current lay of the land:

- Seize The Moment is my 4th single and it’s coming out on Friday. My 1st single Embrace The World was a collaborative supergroup for Autism Awareness. My 2nd single was a cover of Not A Dry Eye In The House by Meat Loaf. The video did the rounds in various film festivals. My 3rd single Ruby was a continuation of the story from that video.

- I was recently on Virgin Media’s The Assembly Ireland as an interviewer and a singer. I met and performed for , , and .

- The Assembly was not my first time meeting celebrities. I’ve met Meat Loaf, Stefanie Preissner and Roddy Doyle to name a few.

- I’ve performed at venues such as Cork Opera House and City Hall. My next performance is at The Kino on March 28th in aid of .

Some non-musical facts about me.

- I am a cat lover. I’ve had a cat named Phoebe for the last 10 years. She’s wonderful.

- My hobbies are walking, gym, watching movies and retro video games. I go through phases of having different favourite games but right now it’s a game called Shenmue.

- I’m an avid watcher of Fair City. I love how contrived and cringe it can get 🤣 My first memory of a soap however was Coronation Street and Jim McDonald getting arrested for breaking into his wife’s house with a shovel.

- If I could have any skill it would be video game streaming. However I get far too dysregulated. I did end up on someone’s stream once but I’m not going to tell you where it is 😉

- The other skill I’d love to have would be languages. It would be a great help at work.

To cap it off, I’ll be on 96FM Opinion Line tomorrow morning so I’ll see ye there.

3 DAYS UNTIL SEIZE THE MOMENT RELEASES

Another photographic moment from one of the college balls. Many moments were seized those nights 😀

I must confess I don’t find this social media thing easy as a musician. Having to come up with ways of saying please download / pre-order / pre-save / etc. my new song coming out, without actually saying it, but saying it at the same time. 😀

I will share some more insight about the song. Some of you might have noticed the artwork (designed by .sound) is very similar to the design of the Embrace The World single. And I did that by intention, the child is now an adult at nighttime enjoying adult activities.

If I ever get to make a music video for the song, it would be along the same lines. Embrace The World’s video was about my childhood and getting into music, the concept for this hypothetical music video would be about my story as an adult navigating the big bad world. I do love videos so I hope to do it sometime if I had the money and the cast.

Also stay tuned tomorrow for there will be a teaser of the song. 😀

Now that I’ve said that, please pre-save / download my upcoming single 🤣🤣

4 DAYS UNTIL SEIZE THE MOMENT RELEASES

A little bit about the backstory of the song, it is as so brilliantly put it a song where “love and possibility collide”.

I was in college when I wrote it and I wanted to capture that intensity of a night out where anything can happen. Will they get together? Will they not? How much excess will be engaged with in the process?

The night that encapsulated that most for me each year was the college ball. And I wrote the song the morning after one of them, the one of the photo here when I was all set to go to it.

Those were fun days. In the last couple of years I’ve made a wonderful group of friends and we go out weekly. There’s not a lot of differences between college balls or Saturday nights really so the song still carries a lot of my personality nowadays.

The track releases on Friday 13th, which also really fits in with the gothic mystic vibe I have going on with the song as well. All Bandcamp download proceeds go to
