Kevin Thomas Anderson is a singer, songwriter and recording artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [1] Known for his work in the adult pop genre, as well as his association with legendary Sigma Sound Studio engineers, Michael and Joseph Tarsia. [2]

Career

Kevin produced one independent LP before teaming up with Grammy recognized producer, Michael Tarsia to release "Soul Food;" [3] an album which explores several musical styles and is reminiscent of Philadelphia's Motown era. The album also features his eight piece band, The Stick Em Up Kids. [1] In 2010, "Soul Food" was up for Grammy consideration in two categories; including "Best Pop Vocal Album" and "Best Engineered Album" . [4]

Anderson has worked as a "ghost writer" with longtime writing partner & R&B singer, Nash; who in 2008 filed a lawsuit against Rodney Jerkins, Mary J. Blige, & Jay-Z for copyright infringement. According to the suit, Jermaine Jummp (aka Nash) and Michael Adams Jr. claim that the single,"Enough Cryin," from Mary J. Blige's 2005 album, " The Breakthrough", infringes their copyright in a song called "On My Grind." [5] Kevin has also written songs for dubstep/grime artist, Kate Marie and UK rapper, Fix Dot'm; [6] as well as DJ L from Wyclef Jean's band "City High". [7]
