Kevin DuRard
Before Kevin DuRard learned to read and write, he learned the language of music. For that reason, it has always been the easiest form of communication for him, since he began his study of music at the age of four. Even though he has performed as a pianist and vocalist most of his life, DuRard does not consider pursuing a DJ career to be a detour at all. Instead, his career has just grown to encompass more of his personality, in particular his passion for emotion and energy on the dance floor.
In 2007 Kevin DuRard’s previous successes brought him to open for the main event at Cherry Weekend in Washington, DC. Along with 2008 marking the third consecutive year performing for Cherry Fund, this year also introduced Kevin DuRard to Gay Internet Radio Live’s online audience. A chosen contestant in the website’s online DJ contest, DuRard received the honor of finishing as a top eight finalist.
Previous DJ residencies include Cobalt Nightclub, BeBar, and Delirium at Pasha in Washington, DC as well as Rouge at 59 Lake in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Other special events along the East Coast include performances at the Atlanta and Washington DC Pride Parades, Halo and Chloe Lounges in Washington DC, and Ibiza Nightclub in Wilmington, North Carolina.
When Kevin DuRard spins, he borrows from many different styles depending on the crowd, the time, and the space; however, his undeniably emotional energy always remains a constant thread through the music. Whether he is performing his original songs or spinning for a crowd on the dance floor, it is guaranteed he will be creating something that moves you—both emotionally and physically. DuRard received his Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition at the University of Texas at Austin, where he also studied film, musical theatre, and playwriting.
