Little Rock, AR – Kevin Billings, known by his artist name Nevin, is an aspiring musician whose journey through life has shaped him into a relatable and inspiring figure in the music industry. Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Nevin now resides in Little Rock, Arkansas, and has a powerful story to share that resonates with anyone who has ever chased their dreams against the odds.
Nevin’s unique perspective as an older artist sets him apart in an industry often dominated by youth. With a rich tapestry of life experiences, he embodies determination and resilience. After serving overseas in the military and working as a Government Contractor, Nevin took a hiatus from music, believing he lacked the ability to make a significant impact. However, he has since rediscovered his passion for music and is eager to contribute to the current state of the industry.
Growing up in the 90s, Nevin was captivated by the vibrant hip-hop culture, despite being forbidden by his mother to listen to secular music. Sneaking in tracks from iconic artists like Too Short, Snoop Dogg, and 2Pac with his cousins, he cultivated a dream that would not fade away. Now, he aims to represent the voice of his hometown and prove that there is talent worth recognizing in Tulsa.
Though he has just begun making music again after a long break, Nevin’s ambition is unwavering. He is currently working on a debut album and intends to compile a project featuring music from peers he respects. His journey has not been without obstacles; a devastating house fire last year destroyed all of his music equipment and possessions. Nevertheless, Nevin is determined to bounce back, using this setback as motivation to create new music.
In the coming years, Nevin envisions himself as a global icon, dedicated to reviving the emotional depth in music that initially inspired him. He aims to connect with listeners through his journey of pursuing his dreams later in life, challenging the industry narrative that often overlooks artists like him.
Nevin’s latest single, “This is Me,” released on July 19, 2024, encapsulates his essence as an artist. With no featured artists on the track, it stands as a testament to his individuality and authenticity.
