Kevin "Earthday Earleybird" Earley
 
is an artist and musician based out of Northern Virginia.  His life story is told in the Ken Burn’s produced documentary "Hiding In Plain Sight - Youth Mental Illness" which can be seen on PBS nationwide.
 
His love for hip-hop goes back decades, as he wrote and performed his first raps in elementary school at the age of seven years old.  His rap name was given to him by a childhood friend, a pun based on his last name.  He then later added the "Earthday" to his name, because he was born on Earth Day.

In addition to the documentary, his challenges with mental health are also documented in his father, Pete Earley's 2007 best selling book, "Crazy - A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness".
 
His work deals with mental health, race, privilege and resilience through adversity.  He speaks to inspire and resolve stigma through art.  He currently works with youth who live with mental health issues and helps mentor them to recover from their respective challenges.

He has been recording and releasing music for over 20 years.  He lives in the Northern Virginia area of the D.M.V. (District, Maryland & Virginia) where he was born and raised.  He is a graduate of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York where he studied fine art, and Virginia Commonwealth University, where he has earned his Master's in Social Work.
​
In addition to telling his life story, he contributed artwork to the film and his original music scores the credits of both episodes of the documentary.  Following its release, he was invited to The White House in 2022 for his work with mental health and the community.

​

He is also a national public speaker, having spoken about his life experiences in Baltimore, Birmingham, Blacksburg, Chicago, Columbus, Denver, Fairfax, Pennsylvania, Richmond, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

​

As a recording artist, he made his official debut on the Witchdoctor’s 2007 album, THE DIARY OF AN AMERICAN WITCHDOCTOR.  He has worked with notable musicians such as Big Rube, Myka 9 and Substantial.  He also works as a social worker in his local community when not making art or music.

 

He is available for public speeches, artwork commissions, consultations, and collaborations or live performances.



He believes in the healing properties of art and music.  Music is essentially sound vibrations, and he works to create positive vibrations that have the power to help people recover and thrive from the challenges they face in life.
