🌐 linktr.ee/kevincgmusic

I am a full-time contemporary a cappella producer, arranger, engineer, and educator, along with being a singer-songwriter and the bass singer for the award-winning professional R&B/Soul/Pop group, Ball in the House (www.ballinthehouse.com). I'm also an official voting member of The Recording Academy (Class of 2023) -- I participate in the voting process of THE GRAMMYs® (www.recordingacademy.com).
​
I started my music career by receiving a Bachelor of Music in Combination with an Outside Field in Media Communication (B.M.) from the Ithaca College School of Music. At Ithaca, I had the distinct pleasure of being a four-year member in the award-winning a cappella group, Ithacappella. Based just outside of Boston, MA, I have given numerous workshops and master classes all around the continental United States. My work in the recording business has won and been nominated for multiple Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARA), along with appearing on several prestigious compilation albums, such as SING, Best of College A Cappella (BOCA), and Voices Only. As an arranger and performer, I have also gained regional and national recognition at the Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival. Outside of time with Ball in the House, I am a Substitute Teacher/Paraprofessional Educator in the Westborough Public Schools (Westborough, MA, U.S.A.), a Virtual Coach for the A Cappella Education Association, and a Delegate Officer of the Ithacappella Alumni Association.

​Outside of music, I enjoy reading mystery/suspenseful, thriller books, taking trips to Old Orchard Beach, ME, U.S.A, playing Nintendo Switch and a variety of board/deck building games, refining my Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game skills, and spending time with my wife and 1 year old son.

One year later… ❤️

It’s hard to believe “Take A Chance” has been out in the world for a full year!!

This song has taken us places we never imagined, and today I’m incredibly grateful to celebrate not only its first anniversary, but also its recognition as a Finalist in the 2026 InterContinental Music Awards in the Pop category for North America.

Thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared it with a friend, added it to a playlist, or simply let it become part of your day. Knowing this music has connected with people is the greatest reward of all.

Here’s to continuing to create, continuing to grow, and continuing to take chances. ❤️

✨ One of my favorite moments as a Dad.

Watching Mateo create reminds me why the arts matter so much.

The arts teach more than music, painting, theater, or dance.

They teach patience.
Discipline.
Empathy.
Connection.
Persistence.

They help us discover who we are.

Every child deserves the opportunity to create.

❤️🎨🎶

✨ One of my biggest goals as an arranger is to create music that people want to perform.

"Rise" is another favorite arrangement I've written. It has powerful harmonies, a cinematic build, and an emotional payoff that still gets me excited years later.

Originally performed by Katy Perry and recorded by Sound Off, I'd love to hear choirs put their own spin on it someday. ❤️

If your choir ever performs one of my arrangements, I hope you'll tag me. It would absolutely make my day.

✨ Choir Performance Tip ✨

One of the easiest ways to elevate a choir performance has nothing to do with notes, rhythms, or even memorization.

🎶 Sing with your face, not just your voice.

Your facial expression helps communicate the story, emotion, and meaning behind the music. Whether it's joy, excitement, heartbreak, hope, or humor, your audience should be able to see what you're singing about, along with hearing the music.

(And yes...sometimes trying to demonstrate these music tips accidentally turns into a father-son photo shoot 😂❤️)

What are some of your favorite choir performance tips?

✨ Be Present ✨

As musicians, artists, educators, and creators, we’re always chasing the next idea.

The next song.
The next arrangement.
The next opportunity.
The next milestone.

We work hard. 🔥
We strive for excellence. ✨
We show up. 🤗
We hone our craft and creativity. 🎶

But sometimes we forget that inspiration isn’t always something we have to go searching for.

More often than not, it’s already right in front of us.

In a conversation.
In a quiet moment.
In the people we love.
In the little hands that won’t stay little forever.

Get some rest. Take a break. Re-charge.

Come back with a clear, focused, and grounded mind…and you may discover that the inspiration you’ve been waiting for was there all along. ❤️🙏

Discover Your “Why.”

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a musician, arranger, producer, and educator is that finding your voice takes time.

Not just your musical voice, but your purpose, your perspective, and the unique things only you can bring to the world.

For a long time, I thought growth meant having all the answers. These days, I’ve learned that growth often looks more like asking better questions, staying curious, listening more than you talk (or play), and being willing to ask for help when you need it.

The music that means the most to me now didn’t exist 5 years ago. Neither did the opportunities, friendships, students, recordings, or experiences that helped create it. Keep going. You never know what you’re building toward.

Keep showing up.
Keep learning.
Keep creating.

One day at a time. ✨❤️🎶

One of my biggest goals as an arranger is simple:

To write music that people actually want to sing.

“Use Somebody” has become one of the arrangements I’m most proud of, and I’d love to hear choirs around the country, and maybe someday around the world, perform it. ❤️

Every time I hear a group bring one of my charts to life, it’s a reminder of why I fell in love with arranging in the first place.

If you’re part of a choir or vocal ensemble, I’d love to know where you’re from!

🎶 “Use Somebody”, originally by Kings Of Leon, adapted from performance by Boyce Avenue, originally recorded by Sound Off 🎙️

To have been a witness to this greatness from the beginning…

Watching a group of young musicians grow, trust each other, and step onto one of the biggest stages in student a ca****la… and then deliver like this… it’s a moment you’ll never forget.

NR_NOTEorious placed 2nd at the Varsity Vocals 2026 ICHSA Finals in NYC last night, and also took home the Outstanding Arrangement Award. 🏆✨

What an unbelievable accomplishment, and way to represent the Northeast region so proudly!

From the very beginning, this group committed to the process: the work, the details, the connection, the storytelling, and it all showed on that stage.

I’m incredibly proud of every single one of them, and so grateful I got to be a part of their journey this season. Thank you for sharing your gift of wonderful and impactful music making. I’m truly inspired by you all!

Moments like this are why music education matters so much, and it’s why I love doing what I do.

Congratulations to you, NOTEorious, and all of the high school groups who competed this season 🎶🔥
