New Artist Spotlight

This time, we get to know Kevin Michael Ozias, a multi-instrumentalist songwriter and producer near Seattle, WA. His connection to music started very early after hearing John Bonham playing drums. The energy and command of the drums drove Kevin to start playing and then he expanded to pick up other musical instruments quickly. He learned guitar and bass, playing each of these in various bands. He began to write songs, record them, and produce them, then evolved & taught himself how to be a music producer. Kevin is on a mission to help other inspired musicians in their journey with his company, Innovaniac Music, where he collaborates, records, produces, publishes, and protects the artist.
