KEVIN AVIANCE

Performance. Art. Music. Politics. Fashion. The Undergound all come together in the body and sound of legendary NYC performance artist Kevin Aviance.  With four #1 Billboard Dance hits, over 10 groundbreaking music videos and a fan base stretching from New York to Tokyo, Kevin Aviance is a bonafide living legend.

After moving from native Virginia to the Big Apple, Kevin became a key figure in the club and music scene of 1990s New York City, and at legendary venues like the Palladium and Twilo he accomplished what no drag queen had ever done prior. He crossed over.

He has collaborated with DJs and producers including Junior Vasquez, Victor Calderone, Basement Jaxx, Deep Dish, François Kevorkian, DJ Gomi, Danny Tenaglia, Tom Stephan, Johnny McGovern, Ari Gold, Grammy Award-winners Peter Rauhofer and Hex Hector and two time Grammy nominated Tony Moran on his sophomore album Entity (Emerge Records) which spawned two #1 dance hits, Alive and Give It Up. His debut album, Box Of Chocolates (Wave Records) introduced Kevin's hard-hitting sound with the club hit, Cunty, currently being covered by Jennifer Lopez in her Vegas show.

Kevin brought much needed attention to the epidemic of hate crimes when he himself was the victim of one in 2006 making national news and bringing Kevin onto The Tyra Banks Show. In 2015 Aviance received the Living Legend award at this years GLAM awards and released his third studio album mixtape called RAW; A collaboration with producer M. Arana and a tribute to the underground ‘Sleaze’ scene.

He is now hard at work on a new music project called SAMURI (NYC) with veteran NYC DJ/Producer Uri Dalal.
