Kevin
Bond is perhaps the finest producer in the gospel music industry
today! In many circles he has been dubbed “The Million Music Maker.”
Few could argue with that assertion or his credentials, as his name
and production credits have thoroughly permeated the most prominent
gospel CD and cassette jackets over the past 20 years.
A native of Chicago,
Illinois, Kevin arrived on the gospel music scene in 1983. That
year, as a 19 year-old prodigy he became the organist for the highly
acclaimed Edwin Hawkins Music and Arts Seminar Mass Choir. Teaming
with gospel pianist extraordinaire Richard Smallwood and a host
of other gifted minstrels (including guitarist Jonathan Dubose and
drummer/bassist Joel Smith), Kevin formally introduced himself to
the gospel nation on the 1984 EHMAS release, Angels Will Be Singing.
Proverbs 18:16
states, “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great
men.” Kevin stepped securely into that promise during the years
immediately subsequent to his inauguration into the gospel music
industry. His fresh approach to music directing coupled with his
ultra-clean, innovative, yet sophisticated piano technique won him
favor with the renowned Walter and Edwin Hawkins and The Hawkins
Family. Serving as music director and keyboardist for the Hawkins
music umbrella afforded him the opportunity to hone his skills in
a privileged, yet challenging environment. That environment served
as a major foundation for his ultimate musical destiny!
Well-established
as a keyboardist and music director, Kevin began to exercise his
production talents during the early 1990’s. He collaborated with
a number of artists, including Stephanie Mills, Donald Lawrence
and The Tri-City Singers, The Kurt Carr Singers and Trinitee 5:7,
among others. His impeccable work with these artists proved him
highly competent as a producer and firmly validated the “production”
facet of his calling.
Kevin has experienced
overwhelming success as a producer in recent years! His leadership
and production expertise have been vital to the success of some
of gospel music’s most recognizable artists; including Kirk Franklin,
God’s Property, Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams, Bishop T.D. Jakes
and The Potter’s House Mass Choir, Marvin Sapp, and host of others.
He was even commissioned by Steven Spielberg to produce a song for
the Prince of Egypt soundtrack. His works have garnered an astounding
10 Grammy Awards, 30 Stellar Awards, and numerous other awards!
Kevin currently serves as the Director of Worship and Arts at the Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church in Decatur under the pastorate of E.Dewey Smith, Jr. The 500-plus members of the music department are under Bond’s purview. Kevin also plans to record at his new location in February 09. Large tasks are not a challenge to Kevin at all. Prior to his new assignment Kevin served as Director of Worship and Arts at the New Birth Church in Lithonia, Georgia. In four years at the helm, he transformed the 600-member music department into a nationally recognized standard of excellence! His 2004 production of the 300-voice New Birth Total Praise Choir, entitled "Spirit and Truth," garnered national acclaim, as it received multiple Grammy and Stellar nominations. In February 2006, the choir released its sophomore CD, “New Beginning,” which is again produced and written mostly by Kevin Bond.
Kevin also serves as CEO of his music production company, Bonded Music. He
is also founder of F.L.O.W. (Follow the Leading Of the Wind), a
band of studio musicians he organized to educate and instruct up
and coming artists. Additionally, upon request he works as a worship
and arts leadership training consultant for music departments across
the country.
Kevin
and his beautiful wife Toni reside in Atlanta, Georgia with their
children; Alex III, Tayler Alexia, Kiara, and Phillip.
