After singing vocals for country and western and experimental bands in the early 90's, Kevin decided to write his own music and cover the songs by artists that had influenced him growing up. In the early 90's Kevin released his first independent album entitled "Regrets" featuring 11 original tunes. Regrets was very much an acoustic/folk album due to the musical influences of Kevin and the individuals who produced the album. Kevin's second album "An Beal Bocht" was written and conceived in Dublin, Ireland in 1994 and featured another 11 more original tunes and a cover of Enya's "Evening Falls". The An Beal Bocht album had a poppier feel and more of a full band sound than the first album Forrest released.

By the third album, Kevin's unique lyrical style and sound were definitely apparent. Kevin wrote and dedicated a haunting tribute to Mathew Shepard (Mathew's Song) who had died during the making of this album. On his fourth album, "All About the Boy", Kevin continues move his listeners with his haunting vocals and lyrics depicting love, loss and magic. Kevin performs a rivetting acoustic version of REM's "The One I Love" on this album.
