Kevin Knelman
Kevin and his love of composing go back to the first moment he picked up a guitar, and next thing he knew, a pencil appeared and music poured out. Many decades later, all instruments have been embraced, and the digital age plus a built in piano editor (wife Jennifer Knelman) have facilitated the process. When the piano lessons start up downstairs, Kevin often appears, iPad in hand, and chimes in with some improvisation, thus producing numerous piano pieces for students that have been well received at festivals and exams.
Among Kevin’s significant credits for television and movies he counts commissions by the CBC, a theme song and background music for Paramount Pictures, plus original songs appearing in the hit series Cagney and Lacey.
More recently, his attention has been on producing his own CDs of original music for both kids and adults, all available through iTunes or at knelmanmusic.com
