The Kenyan music industry has undergone significant evolution, partly due to the contributions of Kevin, also known as Big Kev, who founded and led True Blaq since 2002 and occasionally worked as an emcee.
Big Kev has been a key figure in shaping the local gospel music scene, influencing artists like Rufftone and Esther Wahome by promoting a more contemporary and outgoing form of ministry. Additionally, he has played a crucial role in nurturing talent within the industry, including Jaguar.
Jaguar recently acknowledged Big Kev on social media, recognizing his impact despite the differences between his past and current circumstances. Big Kev has been undergoing treatment for a brain tumor diagnosed about five years ago.
