Artist:Kevin Michael
Song:It Don't Make Any Difference To Me (Acoustic Version)
Album:Kevin Michael
When looking at his CD cover or his videos, you may notice that Kevin Michael's dominant physical characteristic is his big ass afro. But that's what you have to do these days to get the attention of listeners. He has talent so he may be worth the effort. He was born Kevin Michael Seward in Chester, PA in 1985. That's a suburb of Philadelphia. His dad is black and his mom is Italian. Record companies have attempted to sign him since he was 11 but Michael wanted to concentrate on his songwriting. He signed with Virgin Records but when A & R vice president Josh Deutsch left Virgin to start Downtown Recordings, he took Michael with him. The label is distributed by Atlantic. Michael's EP Ya Dig was released on iTunes in May and the single We All Want The Same Thing was iTunes Single Of The Week for May 8, 2007. It Don't Make Any Difference To Me was released when Michael's debut CD was released in Oct. Considering his mixed racial background, it's not surprising that the song is about racial harmony. There are two versions of the song on the CD and two videos. I like the acoustic version a little better and it's kind of ironic that he spends some time in a barber chair in the video. The other version is more mainstream hip hop and features Wyclef Jean and was produced by Jean's longtime producer Jerry Duplessis. Maybe Jean can attract fans to Michael's music. I'm not big on Jean's shtick. Kevin Michael is off to a good start. I hope the record company lets him do his thing on his own terms. Here's the video for the acoustic version of It Don't Make Any Difference To Me by Kevin Michael. Maybe he should get a haircut. Just kidding.
