FOUNDERS BIO

The impetus for the creation of the K-19 began over two decades ago
Raised in a musical environment since birth, Kevin began playing drums at the age of 11

and embarked on his first North American tour at the tender age of 17

Five years later, he returned home armed with years of road experience
and began his undergraduate studies while simultaneously establishing himself as a dominant force
in his hometown Montreal music scene

During this period he began a ten year residency as the drummer
in the city's hottest house band (when he wasn't touring)
which further increased his influence as the accompanying notoriety allowed him substantial local
exposure and permanent recognition and influence within the entire city's music scene

Kevin eventually channeled this local and reputation into producing and hosting
a local weekly television program (that still airs in reruns to this day)
that he specifically designed to showcase up and coming new groups in the area.

It was during this period that Kevin officially began his slow transition away from being exclusively a musician and band leader
towards using his vast array of personally accumulated international contacts to begin booking bands as well.

Once his name was out there it didn't take long before he landed his first major contract
as he began exclusively programming all of the musical acts for Club Med in Mexico and the Caribbean .

This opportunity led to over a decade of success in that region .

As his reputation as an impresario grew internationally as a result
he and the newly formed K-19 entertainment agency began to receive international recognition
and the decided to expand it's operations globally .

With the foundation for the next phase set it was during his graduate studies in 2000
that the promoters from Europe and Africa first came calling. 

By establishing his initial base at the legendary Amstrong Club in Casablanca,
K-19's reputation for quality and success quickly spread across both continents
as the company rapidly expanded into Europe with venues in Poland, Portugal and Spain

as well as opening new clubs in Morocco and the Ivory Coast


It was in 2004, that K-19 was first approached by the world wide luxury hotel chain Sofitel, and shortly after
the group subsequently signed an exclusivity deal with K-19 to handle all of its entertainment needs worldwide .

The immediate success of this exclusivity partnership (which has been in effect for the past 12 years)
eventually spawned the creation of the So Club franchise which has since become a global phenomenon.

Under the agency's guidance and direction, the So Club concept has now expanded worldwide

 and has since grown at the rate of about one new club every year

Once again, much of this phenomenal success can be attributed to the simple concept of the company's original manifesto...
"A musician taking care of musicians"
