Favorite Saying: Wha's Up?? Wha's Up??
What can one say about the oldest member of the Backstreet Boys, Kevin
Richardson? Except that responsibility seems too fall naturally on his shoulders.
Kev is the one who most often tells the other guys to cut out the sillyness when it
comes time to workimg seriously.
One thing that some people might not have known about Kev, is that he absolutely
adores children. He will even take the time out to give autographs and take pictures with
the Backstreet Boys littlest fans. In the future, Kev admits that he is looking forward to
being a father himself some day.
Kev loves to explore new cultures and exotic foods, and whenever the Backstreet
Boys are visiting a new city or country, Kev insists on taking the time out to organize
a sight seeing expedition, even though their busy schedules might not allow them too see
everything that they might like too.
Unlike many people, Kev has always known what he wanted to do with his life, especially
when he discovered his love for music at a young age. " Me and Brian are cousins and both of our
families are really musical. I grew up singing in church. Me and my Mom, who is Brian's Father's
sister-,I sang with her in church."
The first nine years of Kev's life were spent living on a 10-acre farm, and the next eight years
of his life were spent living in a gorgeous modern day log cabin. " I had a great childhood, I loved school,
played little league football, rode horses and dirtbikes, and I sang into a hairbrush infront of my bedroom mirror."
When Kev was a freshman in highschool, he recieved his first set of keyboards. This turned out to be an
important factor in his evolution as an artist. Through constant practising, Kev eventually became skilled enough as a solo
act, to entertain patrons in restaurants and at weddings.
Kev earned his first stage experience with the local theatrical productions of famous Musicals like;
Bye Bye Birdie, and Barefoot in the Park. While at home, his natural grace and affinity for dance landed him a
job as a qualified Ballroom Dance Instructor.
Eventually, Lexington became too small to hold Kev's talent and so, he moves to Florida, hoping for a break in the fiercely competetive
entertainment business. Once there, Kev's good looks and outgoing personality convinced Disney World to hire him too play the part of
Aladdin on stage and in daily parades. Kev also played a Ninja Turtle.
While Kev was working at Disney, a friend who he had met at a dance club, told him about the auditions for a new vocal group
called the Backstreet Boys. Kev's deep, gorgeous, sensual voice landed him a place in the group, where soon after he brought his cousin Brian into
the mix.
For Kev, the Backstreet Boys has been an incredible learning experience." We've learned so much, and we're learning everyday. Just
the whole process of how the radio stations and how the record industry works. And I've learned so much as far as production in the studios. I mean,
I was just soaking all that in like a sponge."
What's in the future for Kevin and the Backstreet Boys? No one can say for sure, but hopefully a couple more hit albums here in Canada, in
Europe and in the United States. And the hope too hear Kev and his deep, sensual voice singing a few more lead songs on the Backstreet Boys third Album.
