Cool, Calm, and Collected….

Born in Jamaica, New York, DJ Kevy Kev is currently based in our nation's capitol, Washington, DC
 Originally mixing was never part of his background until his military tour in the mid ’70s. It was not until he was in Bovolone, Italy (near Verona), that he gained an attraction to the art of blending two songs. He purchased his first pair of turntables, and began his quest of “DOING THE DAMN THING!”

In the early ’80s in Miami Florida, KevyKev first began spinning at a live venue. Miami was quite a challenge for the unique DJ where his type of dance music was not as popular. Later he traveled to Atlanta where he gained a profound love of both Club and House Music. Spinning in ATL was a great and successful experience for him. On Sunday nights, he transformed Alexander’s Fine Dining Restaurant into “SKIRTZ”, the hot spot. With Henri McTerry, as the sole proprietor, he finally was placed on the map. At times he would fill in for his friend, and famous Atlanta Club Promoter David Hampton.

After a 10 year hiatus, DJ Kevy Kev, formally known as Special K, has returned to the HOUSE MUSIC scene, with his style of SOULFUL, ADULT and DEEP HOUSE. Now in DC, he then took residence @ The Shadow Room, then to MOVA, then The Library Lounge....off & on parties @ The Safari DC Lounge.

In 2015, Kevy Kev started the DMV House Music Fest, In Malcolm X Park, in NW DC.....2016 was very much a success....stay tuned.
