Read the OK. Kevin Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hey everyone I'm OK. Kevin, a Charleston based Bass House music producer. Almost every song I've made has been at least 500 feet below the water line on a US Navy Submarine. I used to produce under the name Distraktion after I attended Cosmic Academy in 2016 but I recently went under a brand reformation and have become OK. Kevin. I have some really dope music videos up under my youtube that have some trippy visuals. I'm out here to just make music that I want to listen too. Theres a sound out there that I haven't heard yet and it's my goal to produce it. I hope along the way y'all learn to love and cherish it like I do! My newest song "Easy Lesson" was just released on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, and every other major music streaming site! Also my new hour long mix will be released later this week and my Artist playlist is up and ready for your listening pleasure on my Spotify page.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Oh man did my influences change! Like everyone I started out in a major Progressive/Big Room House phase, but obviously have evolved my tastes into a more refined and niche flavor of music. The influence that really got me interested in producing was most certainly Jauz. I saw him in late 2015 when I was living in Hawaii and just loved everything about his brand, from his songs, passion playing live, and the marketing ability of his style in general. After that I was hooked, and started producing my self; Later attending Cosmic Academy in 2016. Since then I have modeled my music after Ghastly, Habstrakt, Joyryde, Loge21, and Ephwurd, but have been dipping into some harder dubstep/trap stuff modeled after Riot Ten, Loudpvck, Quix, Nitti Gritti, and Boombox Cartel. To be honest though my favorite producer in the world is one I don't even produce like… Electric Mantis. I believe he is the most creative and talented producer in the world right now and doesn't get nearly the traction or respect he deserves. Much love to him and what he's doing for the culture.
What´s new right now?
Yea absolutely I am! My newest single "Easy Lesson" was just released on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, and every other major music streaming site! Also my new hour long mix will be released later this week and my Artist playlist is up and ready for your listening pleasure on my Spotify page. Please go follow my Spotify, SoundCloud, and Youtube Channels for some great, fresh new music. For all those producers out there please feel free to send me new songs and mixes and I'll give you feedback, support and maybe even include them in my mixes!! Much love for all the support, y'all are the best and I can't wait for you to hear all the new music I have in store for 2018 and beyond!

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Not finishing music, and getting hung up on 8 bars of song. Finish music and move on, it's not going to be perfect but you will learn way more from finishing music than you will from being hung up on one song.
