Mini bio

Before the choir room.

Kevin grew up in Plano, Texas, and began making music as a teenager in the four-member boy band NLT. The name stood for Not Like Them. Glee then brought him to a much larger audience as Artie Abrams, a role he played across the show’s six seasons.

Finding his own sound.

His debut solo EP, Boy, arrived in June 2019. Across five songs, Kevin brought together the pop and R&B he grew up on with stories about relationships and his own insecurities. He told PIBE that he worked with friends Justin Thorne and Wednesday, following the songs without forcing a particular sound.

Keeping the conversation going.

Kevin and Jenna Ushkowitz began podcasting together with Showmance in 2019. Their iHeart series And That’s What You REALLY Missed launched in 2022. After revisiting all six seasons of Glee, they expanded into musical films and television, mixing recaps with guest conversations.

A new life on stage.

Spelling Bee at the Kennedy Center marked Kevin’s stage debut in 2024. He made his London debut in The Frogs in 2025, returned to William Barfée Off-Broadway, and made his Broadway debut as Brad in The Rocky Horror Show in August 2026.
