usic and performance have always been an integral part of Nevin's life.  Starting with the violin at the age of 3, he played in concerts at various local schools and auditoriums, impressing audiences with his violin solos at such a young age. Continuing his musical journey with the piano at age 5 and continuing through grade school, he mastered pieces by Beethoven and Schubert. In the 4th grade he took up choir, whilst continuing piano instruction until junior high, when he switched to guitar. He began by learning the basics on an acoustic guitar followed by more rock and roll focused lessons on the electric guitar shortly thereafter. He remained in the junior high and high school choirs, often chosen as a soloist, even qualifying for the Missouri State Choir by auditioning with an acapella song in Italian (“Fa Una Canzona”). At the age of 16, he took up the drums, which he was a natural at, and a few months after his first drum lesson was selected to play with his high school jazz band at John Burroughs High School. At the age of 17, Nevin teamed up with a few friends and started a rock band where he was the lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and co-writer of the music. Over the course of the next few years, they played several shows around the St. Louis area.

Although moving away for their respective collegiate experiences inevitably caused the band members to move on, Nevin continued to pursue his music in Miami by taking music theory courses and playing with several different bands at various capacities – drummer, guitarist, and singer.

Upon his arrival to Los Angeles, Nevin has been working on a solo 5 song EP where he has written all the music and lyrics and plays all the instruments. He is currently recording at Sunburst Recording in Culver City. Nevin’s musical influences are Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Tool, Incubus, Stone Temple Pilots, The Black Crowes, but he is passionate about all music genres, especially classical, Mozart being his favorite composer.
