LANE ALEXANDER WOOD SR ENTERTAINMENT (Megan Casey Potter) On a path to stardom Kevin Young hopes first big music break leads him to the top EMILY WEAVER eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com Kings Mountain's Kevin Young sang at The Big Chill in Charlotte Saturday night as part of a promotion with 646 Entertainment, a new independent recording com- pany that he recently signed with. After a successful run with “Give me the Mic, Charlotte” last year, he real- ized how much performing meant to him and has been focused on achieving the performer's dream ever since. “He has worked so hard to get to this point,” said his sis- ter Freida Young. “We are all so proud of him.” Two sis- ters, one brother and sister- in-law were in attendance Saturday night to support him. Other family members and friends, filling up two and a half tables, traveled to the club to hear him sing. They provided the loudest and proudest cheers of the night. Kevin's mother, Mary, wanted to attend but sacri- ficed to stay behind and look after the grandchildren. She sent her prayers and well- wishes with him and required a full report later from the rest of the group. * Kevin, a : soft-spoken, reserved guy one-on-one became a bright light on the stage, infusing the audience with life, foot tapping and clapping. His first song, a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstitious,” brought at least half of the audience to their feet, swaying and clap- ping. Most of the rest of his songs were those that he had written. A modest showman, ‘he gave credit to the band and back-up singers allow- ing them to have equal share in his spotlight. On his final note, the crowd cheered and like a pro, he left them want- ing more. “I get more nervous when I'm in front of just one or two people,” he said, before the show. “I think it’s easier to be in front of a crowd of peo- ple.” After graduating from Kings Mountain High School, he attended ECPI and earned a degree in Computer Technology. “I ended up starting my own company, which I just closed to focus more on music,” he said. His business, K&D Audio & Video Solutions, was open for about a year and a half. While there, he installed commercial video and sound systems, like for é hy hg AT 4 e XA Diamond Circle Pendant 1/5 carat $99 Limited Time Only! 1/4 carat $149” - 1/2 carat $289 - 1 carat $549 Princess-cut diamond Engagement ring 1 carat t.w. $1,895 11/2 carat $3,695 2 carat $5,495 Matching Band 1/4 carat t.w. $39 1/2 carat $775 EN 8 BR) STS ESET Vy {OB yTiTg , 3/4 carat t.w. $1,895 SENET RLS) : Round three stone ring 1/2 carat t.w. $875 3/4 carat $1,295 1 carat $1,925 11/2 carat $4,295 2 carat $6,495 226 S.

Freida said their mother has always stressed the importance of having a career and working hard to obtain life's goals. “She impressed on us that we could be and do anything if we worked hard enough,” Freida said. So he set up a studio in his room, where Freida said he is constantly listening to music, singing and writing his own song lyrics. A regular exer- cise routine keeps him in good physical shape. “You've got to keep yourself conditioned,” he said. “I'm teaching myself to play the piano right now (which helps with song-writing).” “It’s a lot of work. You def- initely have to do your research and your home- work,” he said, in regards to choosing the right recording label and avenues to pursue. But most importantly, faith, hope, patience and determi- nation keep him steady on his track. Since “Give me the Mic, Charlotte,” he has done sev- eral commercials for Harris Teeter, Food Lion and other businesses. He signed with 646 Entertainment about four months ago and his first R&B album is anticipated to hit record stores this fall. Most of his music is entirely self-created with influences from his background in Gospel music. Kevin was told that profes- sional scouts might also have seen him at The Big Chill Saturday night and he is excited. If 646 Entertainment links up with a major label, then their artists will have the increased advertisement, promotion and publicity offered by the prominent labels that make the star a star. “I've been singing since I was an elementary kid,” he said. “I've always loved it and it was something I've always wanted to do.” Children’s play ‘Cinderella’ opens Friday at KMLT The Kings Mountain Little Theatre will present the chil- dren's play "Cinderella" this weekend September 8 and 9 at 7:30 pm and September 10 at 3:30 pm and the following weekend September 15 and 16 at 7:30 pm.
