“It's rare when you can call a rapper ‘a monster of a musician.’ Thankfully, this guy really is.” - East Bay Express, 5/21/2008

“The first time you see Choice follow a blazing lyrical verse with a highly musical piano flourish, you'll likely be awestruck; after a while, you'll realize that his music is ‘Kevolutionary.’” - East Bay Express, 6/25/2008 (Best of the East Bay)

“Most Multi-Talented Musician” 2008 - East Bay Express, 6/25/2008 (Best of the East Bay)

Celebrate the OIFF with “The East Bay’s Most Multi-Talented Musician”

Just as the Oakland International Film Fest is one of “The Town”’s best-kept secrets, so, too is Kev Choice. But not for long. The press accolades keep piling up for Choice, an Oakland native who has played with Too $hort, Lauryn Hill, and Lyrics Born, and leads his own 10-piece band, the Kev Choice Ensemble. Choice has received props in the SF Chronicle for his cutting-edge mix of conscious hip-hop, jazz, classical, funk, and soul, while the East Bay Express dubbed him “The East Bay’s Most Multi-Talented Musician” in its annual Best Of The East Bay edition. Recently, he was nominated for an SF Weekly Music Award for Best R&B/Soul/Funk Artist. Apparently, the word is getting out about the pianist-emcee, who can rightfully be dubbed “The People’s Choice.”

Following the OIFF’s closing night, keep the independent spirit rolling with the official after-party at Oakland’s Uptown, hosted by Choice and featuring a live performance by The Kev Choice Ensemble, plus special guests TBA. This event marks the Oakland debut of “Emergence,” a live performance series created by Choice to spotlight some of the Bay’s hottest and freshest musical talent, as well as debut new works and preview selections from his upcoming debut CD, The Broken Mold.
