H.P: Do you remember the very first show/event you did?
K.C: First official Event ... I was 16 years old. I remember not having professional equipment so I had to borrow equipment from my house. It was an interesting story... when my parents got home they thought they were robbed until they saw me coming back with the equipment. It turned out to be a good little show. My parents wasn't that supportive at first ... but I won an Award for DJ of the Year at the Young, Gifted & Black (YGB) Entrepreneurial Awards (2013/2014), which I dedicated to my Parents.
H.P: What is an important Life lesson you learnt from being a DJ?
K.C: Always know your worth. Sometimes other DJ's in the Industry might not give you the credit where it's due ... and Promoters might not put you on the "Big Shows". The difference about me is that I'm an Entertainer, I'm much more than a DJ. Truth is I'm too good for just any show.
H.P: You have so many passions, what would you say is your favorite?
K.C: I love Martial Arts , but Deejaying is my first love. I've missed so many training sessions and competitions for martial arts. Once I'm booked for a party ... I go wherever. It's more for the love of it .. a true passion.
H.P: Tell us about your upcoming role in "Jamaican Mafia"
K.C: Contrary to what people might think .. I'm not making a Cameo appearance. I have a role ( script and everything ) This is new and different; I'm not a badman/gunman in real life so it's interesting to play one. I really want this role to make an impact. I would definitely like to do more acting.
H.P: Describe your Fashion Style?
K.C: Different ... Trendsetting. I don't like to wear things that everybody else is wearing ...( points to self ) Look at me. It's also about the shoes. Everybody has Jordans which are nice ( expensive) shoes, but I like fresh ... different shoes. Here I have the Jeremy Scott Tall Boy by Adidas and Supra Skytop IV.

K.C: My Daughter Cadence. She is a beautiful individual who has given me an entire different perspective on Life. She told me when she grows up she wants to be just like me. It's impressive that she is 6 and has a black belt.
What makes him unique and places him in a category all by himself, is his love of the arts, martial arts that is.

He has won numerous competitions on stage and off. The days of “specialty” DJ’s are over, Kevin Crown is single-handedly reinventing the DJ movement. Having a background in dancing and has choreographed for some of the top reggae artist Kevin unleashes his daredevil dance moves night after night. With his rock star image, he has been called a trendsetter, showstopper, and trailblazer. For more info click Here
