Emerging Country singer/songwriter Kevin Smiley was raised in a religious home in Okeechobee, FL. As a homeschooled kid, the youngest of 6 kids, he absorbed a mix of spiritual and secular teachings. Still, later he stumbled on '80s/90s country music, which piqued his curiosity and he started writing music. Armed with guitar and vocal training from church, where his father was the pastor, Kevin is now traversing the unbeaten path as a young black country artist with an exciting story to tell.
