Background[]
Kevin Colis has always dreamed of making an impact in music. His desire to be a singer began at age 12 when he was cast as the lead role in his elementary school’s sixth grade musical. From that moment on, Kevin set his sights on becoming a professional singer. He received his bachelors in music from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and two degree certificates from the Musicians Institute in Hollywood. After many missed opportunities in Los Angeles, Kevin refocused his efforts and moved to New Braunfels, Texas, where he opened a Live Music and Dance venue for teenagers.
