About Kevin
Kevin Walsh is a songwriter, musician, singer and actor who developed his passion for music from an early age, singing before he could talk. He graduated from MTU (formerly CIT) Cork School Of Music with First Class Honours BMus and MA Degrees, having achieved the award of Highest Placed Student for three consecutive years. Participation in numerous supporting and ensemble roles in local musical theatre, television / short film and opera productions informed Kevin’s style as a songwriter, combining popular music tropes with the dynamic harmonies and storytelling found on both the stage and screen.

Kevin dreams of working in every facet and capacity of the industry, as a singer, songwriter, musician, actor, arranger and producer. His debut single titled Embrace the World, a supergroup collaboration with Irish artists Emma Langford, Ger O Hanlon, Caroline Kay, Stephen Gormley, Molly Lynch, Mark Daly, Lisa Curran and Rebecca Houlihan, is in benefit of AsIAm, Ireland’s leading Autism charity.

The song debuted on the Irish iTunes Singles Charts and the Irish iTunes Rock Charts at #1, and entered the Irish Homegrown Top 20 in a mere two days of its release.

The project is very meaningful to Kevin as he was diagnosed with Autism at the age of five, and it is his way of communicating with the world and assisting a prominent charity ran by autistic people for autistic people. He looks forward to releasing his debut EP later in the year.
