Kevin’s message
What would you like listeners to get out of listening to your album?
“I would like people to know there’s many different shades of Indigenous identity, there’s not one story of Indigenous identity, there’s many varieties of what makes up the identity of an Indigenous person. So, I want people to know that it’s not what you see in an Indigenous study 101. A lot of that is what you call Pan-American or Pan-Indigenous culture, what I try to do is go right to the communities and community stories and peoples stories, right to the heart of the song carriers and the people themselves.” - Kevin
