He released his debut single ‘Bad Blood’ in June last year, and just over a year later he’s just put out his second single ‘Till I Meet You Again’.
The song’s video, shot at Taylor’s Mistake in Christchurch, was directed by New Zealand filmmaker Martin Sagadin.
Kevin “stumbled upon” Martin’s work via Christchurch singer-songwriter Mousey aka Sarena Close. Martin directed the video for Mousey's Silver Scroll-nominated song ‘Extreme Highs’.
At first Kevin was unsure about how the pair would work together from opposite sides of the globe, but it all went smoothly: “We had a few brainstorm sessions via video call,” Kevin says, “It just felt right … Martin professionally and methodically worked through the process of creating and perfectly executing it.”
Martin’s crew included DOP Kirk Pflaum & photographer Ella Waswo, with costume by Steven Junil Park. Together they managed to capture a mesmerising performance from acclaimed dancer Josie Archer.
