A St. Louis native with an intense passion for expression. From the beginning came from a musical background with family members helping manage tours for artist to the Sam Cooke & Otis Redding my grandfather played everyday as I did my homework. Music was instilled as second nature in my to day to day life. And now at 23 it\'s even more of a fixture, as I manage what Pigeons & Planes calls \"the finest musical talent St. Louis has to offer,\" in my local music collective HELLA. I also just released my first EP as an artist entitled \'TONES\' by kevin8. I know that every aspect of this business is vital for success & my drive for toward that success will set me apart. I\'m Kevin Bedford aka kevin8 & I\'m only here to make music & build on the foundation that has already molded who I am.
