BIO

Kevin Silvester is a Melbourne-based singer, songwriter and producer bringing high-gloss pop to the rush of Y2K pop/rock. With signature red hair, fan-dubbed “demon twink” energy and big choruses, he turns unhinged stories of messy relationships and the chaotic queer experience into a larger world of characters, lore and pop spectacle.

A classically trained pianist and cellist, Kevin has been writing and producing since he was 13. His music brings together the bite of Avril Lavigne, the hooks of 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction, and the scale and spectacle of K-pop. Onstage, those influences collide in a high-energy live show built around a full band, choreography, theatrics and a crowd screaming every word back.

At the heart of it all are the Silvies, Kevin’s die-hard fanbase across Australia and around the world. Highly engaged online and fiercely invested in the music, its characters and its inside jokes, they fill the comments, wear the merch and friendship bracelets, sing the words back and become part of the world Kevin is building around the songs.

After the success of his debut EP O2, Kevin is now building K, a forthcoming narrative concept album following his alter ego through a chaotic love life. Recurring characters, interconnected storylines and music videos extend the narrative beyond the record, while singles IT BOY, BULLET FOR YOUR VALENTINE and STEP BY STEP (DAD), released with Teamwrk Records, establish the humour, characters and chaos at the centre of the K universe.
