About
I am a hard rock artist based in New Orleans. My debut album, Southern Dissonance, released in 2022. The album was mixed by Austin Deptula, a Grammy & Dove award nominee, and mastered by Marc Frigo.<br><br> Southern Dissonance was recorded over several months in 2021 in a tiny room in an old industrial building in New Orleans with no access to the outside world...meaning no internet (I don't own a cell phone).<br><br> Press Reviews for Southern Dissonance (updated August 2022)<br><br> "Kevin the Persian may sing 'Rock is dead' on this amazing album, but he has revived it simultaneously. Candidate for album of the year? Hell yes!" - MangoWave, Germany<br><br> “Awakens your wildest and most rebellious spirit and while you listen to it you can not help but point your horns toward the sky and venerate the real rock.” - Edgar Allan Poets, United States<br><br> "If this were 1994, it wouldn’t surprise us if Kevin the Persian were on the Sub Pop label, and in 2022 it’s a breath of fresh air when so much music is computer generated, similar and uninspired." - Tom Haugen, Take Effect, United States<br><br> 9/10 Rating - "Kevin the Persian starts the year delivering what may be one of the best releases of 2022. A work of pure rock 'n roll, which proves that the style remains firm and strong. Southern Dissonance has everything to become a classic for older and younger fans." - Headbangers News, Brazil
