Emerging electronic artist Kēvens just released a new EDM-Reggae crossover single, “Legal Dreamers” this Friday, June 23rd. Kēvens believes that music is a powerful tool that can bring people from all walks of life together. “Legal Dreamers” is a testament to Kēvens' talent as a musician and his dedication to spreading love and positivity through creative expression. Kēvens' unique blend of dub and EDM creates a sound that is both fresh and familiar, and his lyrics speak to the heart of the human experience.

'Legal Dreamers' is more of a mantra than a record - one recited towards a world built on love and inclusion. Legal Dreamers is the soundtrack cultivating safe spaces where we can feel free to love openly again. Complementing one another as the marriage of the drum and the bass have done for generations in reggae. So as a follower of the keeper of dub, let us remember in dub we trust, in this life, love is a must.”
-Kēvens Electronic-Reggae Musician

Recognized as a live drum and bass pioneer, Kēvens was the first to bring these musical elements to the early rave scene back in the late 90s. Kēvens has performed live with his band at iconic EDM festivals such as The Florida Zen Music Festival, Cyberfest, and Ultra Music Festival.

As a “keeper of dub,” Kēvens is committed to preserving the legacy of Reggae music while also pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the rapidly expanding genre of electronic music. Through the curation of an innovative sound, Kēvens has created music that reflects his passion to be part of a more harmonious world. With “Legal Dreamers,” Kēvens reminds us that we are all connected and that we have the power to make a positive difference in the world.

The global reset of the 2020 lockdown sent Kēvens back to the basics of Jamaica’s Sound Systems Culture, leading his musical journey down paths yet to be discovered. Sound Systems are towering speaker systems that originated in the Caribbean during the 1950's and brought people together through a shared listening experience. DJs, also known as Selectors, would put together stacks of speakers to create mobile sound systems on wheels, trucks, and even unique designs with art and colors.

"The Sound System is like a drum, homegrown and homemade, used for direct communication with the people. In Jamaica, Sound Systems were a huge part of daily life, providing soundtracks through dub plates, specials, and sound boxes. Even today, Sound System culture continues to evolve globally, amplifying and broadcasting from its Jamaican roots. It's such a creative way to showcase the individuality of each sound maker.”

About

In an increasingly divisive world, where age, nationality, race and religion are creating an ever-widening gap between people, Kēvens is on a quintessential mission: utilize the power of his music to bring souls from all four corners of this world to dance together. With skills and artistry this former DJ turned Actor/Singer/Songwriter, strives to take everyone to a higher level of consciousness while embracing and channeling his world-beat influences and personal growth. His music is promoting a theme of multiculturalism, spiritual enlightenment, artistic expression and positivism. Kēvens started his journey spinning records in Miami but the innately poetic performer’s musical roots were more clearly witnessed when he joined the groundbreaking, progressive reggae group: Le Coup, with Richard and Anthony Booker. In fact, family matriarch Cedella Marley Booker told young Kēvens very early in his musical career: “Like a letter, you must write a song with purpose.” His live shows consist of a lush drum 'n' bass amalgam of vocal dexterity and musicianship, mixed with a progressive rock-reggae dub style and stunning dance as well as visual imagery. Kēvens’ knack for the timely and profound has enabled him to tour all over the world and finds him alongside an eclectic array of legends and prodigies including Steven Tyler, Ice Cube, Tiestö, Daft Punk, Duran Duran, Carlos Santana, and The Jacksons to name a few. This global citizen coined the ultimate mantra: “Positivity is a Necessity.”
