About

Dynamic, creative leader with over 20 years of experience in media, insurance and music. Passionate and people-oriented, I create long lasting relationships with partners and colleagues, and I drive revenue with satisfied clients. "...Kevin Jones is not only one of the most talented, versatile and professional performers I know, but also a great friend. I, like many people who have come to know Kevin through the years would tell you that he would bring tremendous capability, dedication and artistry to any production, project or job that he would take on." -- Gerard K. Gonsalves, Tin Idol Productions "Kevin is an absolute staple of the Honolulu music scene, and brings his tireless work ethic and passion for the industry to anything he does... Many people know Kevin primarily as the voice of Star 101.9, but he is also an insanely accomplished musician, singer, songwriter, and guitarist - I’ve seen him perform with both his solo project and The Desert Sea, and he rocks! He’s also been the event director for Road Runner Music Hall (bringing incredible acts to Hawaii), while at the same time promoting the best of the Honolulu scene through curated radio shows like, ‘Unsigned Hawaii'. Kevin is both one of the most talented colleagues I know, but also one of the hardest working musicians and promoters out there. And beyond that, he is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet!” -- Sean Cleland, Sean Cleland Music
