Kevin's Bio | About The Second Semester

Bio of Kevin Giblin:

Kevin Giblin, the 20 year old singer/songwriter from Paramus, New Jersey, has a very interesting musical background. He has always had a passion for music since he was little, but never really knew how to express it until his freshman year in high school. Now he is a junior at the University of Scranton. His new album "The Second Semester" is out now and contains so many great songs.

Although Kevin's musical journey started when he was young, taking piano lessons up until 4th grade, his serious music career did not start until he was a freshman in high school. During his freshman year, he began to write songs such as "Forever" and "Best Friends Are Forever."

It was not until the release of "The Final Project" that Kevin believed he might have a future in the music business. When he got to college he began to play at local coffee shops and open mic nights to attempt to gain experience and exposure. It was through these and similar experiences that led Kevin to begin writing songs for his next album. This new album, titled "The Second Semester", has helped Kevin gain more respect in the music industry.

About "The Second Semester":

The Second Semester is a very unique and original project for Kevin. It literally takes you through everything Kevin went through during his second semester of college. Even though the title does refer to Kevin’s college life, it also refers to how Kevin hopes this album will be a new beginning to his musical career.

The album fuses acoustic rock with upbeat rhythms and catchy melodies. Each track was personally written, recorded, and produced by Kevin himself.

Kevin says that the main reason he decided to record this album was to try to help teens dealing with new found responsibilities such as college, living on your own, growing up, and being an adult.

“My dream is that my music will be able to prevent at least one shooting and/or one suicide from occurring. I know life’s not easy, so just try to be yourself and you CAN get through it. I feel my generation greatly needs a voice of hope, someone to just be there to let you know everything will be alright. I hope I can be that voice.”

“I know what it’s like to be hurt, alone, scared, and I believe this album shows how to cope with these emotions. Ever since I became a teenager, I realized the best way to get rid of these emotions is to write it out. You’ll be surprised, not only will you feel better about yourself, but you also might understand more about what is wrong and learn what you need to do.”

Just remember, you are stronger then you might think.
