Rob Kevlin
Singing his way through childhood, often accompanied by his operatically-gifted grandfather, Kevlin started to appear in local talent shows and high school musical productions. He worked with the noted voice teacher Felix Moltzer at Monmouth Conservatory of Music, then studied with Nancy Evers and further trained with Richard Dorr from Julliard. While attending Rutgers University, Kevlin appeared in campus productions of "Jekyll & Hyde", "Footloose" and "Promises, Promises" as well as several others. After graduating Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Kevlin decided to pursue singing more aggressively seeing if he could make it his career. "Music is how I express myself. It fills every part of my life. My life would be lacking if I didn't pursue performing" said Kevlin. Since then, he has performed all over the country including his Off Broadway run at the Triad Theatre, the legendary Carnegie Hall, and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where he won the International Talent Competition "USA World Showcase" and was crowned as the TV Trophy Winner on PAX television. He has also performed in his own solo concerts to sold out audiences, granted several interviews to 620 AM radio as well as 87.7 FM, and appeared on "Time Out", a celebrity international television news program. He has the voice, looks, and presence, but what makes him special is how he connects with an audience. It's a warmth that can't be taught, and it is what makes Kevlin stand out from the crowd. by Kate Merlino

Rob Kevlin is a young man graced with dark good looks and a big, fill-the-room baritone. Brooklyn-born and New Jersey-raised, Kevlin grabbed hold of music at an early age and never let go. "A microphone was his first and last toy," says his mother, a former pianist in her native Russia who instilled a love of music in her young son. Kevlin started to sing as soon as he could talk, belting out family favorites at parties and performing on a makeshift stage in his home to increasingly astonished friends and family. "I first realized that I had a real voice when I was in the fifth grade and the school principal pulled me aside to give me a rare compliment," says Kevlin.
