Kevin Eduardo Hernández Carlos[1] (born May 15, 2000),[2] known artistically as Kevin Kaarl is a Mexican folk singer and composer.[3] He released his first single "Amor viejo" on September 18, 2018, and began to capture the public's attention, with more than 7 million views on YouTube.[4] That December, he rose to fame with the release of his "Vámonos a marte"[5] single that reached more than 23 million views on YouTube and 104 million on Spotify.[6] It achieved success thanks to social media virality.[1]
In his childhood and adolescence, Kevin participated in different choirs and musical bands. At the age of 7 he joined a youth band in Meoqui, Chihuahua. In elementary school, he joined the school choir, and years later he joined another band in his home town. In 2014 he stopped playing the guitar and singing to start a photography and film project.[3] Before starting his musical project, Kaarl played guitar, while his twin brother Bryan, who plays the trumpet, sang backup vocals during their live performances.[7]
Kevin was studying communication due to his interest in photography, cinema and journalism before dedicating himself completely to music. Among his musical influences are Norteño, classical music and rock music, however, the main genres that make up his discography include folk, indie and alternative.[8] On November 27, 2020, he released the music video for the song "Es que yo te Quiero a ti" as a show of support for the women victims of feminicide.[9] In 2023, Billboard magazine recognized him as one of the 23 Latin artists who had the most impact on music that year.[10]
Kaarl has two studio albums: Hasta el fin del mundo (2019)[11] and París, Texas (2022).,[12] in addition to one EP, San Lucas (2019).[13] Among his most popular songs are songs such as; "San Lucas", "Vámonos a marte" ("Let's go to Mars"), "Colapso" ("Collapse"), "Es que yo te quiero a ti" ("I love you"), "Si supieras" ("If you only knew"), "Toda esta ciudad" ("This whole city"), "Amor viejo" ("Old love"), "Abrazado a ti" ("Hugging you"), "Mujer distante" ("Distant Woman"), "Tu si eres real" ("You're real"), "Cómo me encanta" ("How I love it"). Several of them have entered the Top 10 in different countries; Vámonos a mars reached the number one position on the Top 40 Charts in Chile, [14] "San Lucas" also reached number one on the Youtube Top 100 Songs charts in Mexico.[15]
In addition to singing in Spanish, he also sings in English and has composed songs such as "Next to you", "Good times", "Selfish pretty girl", among others. He has also collaborated with artists such as Leon Bridges,[16] and León Marinero,[17] Daniel Quién[18] and Pablo Díaz-Reixa.[19]
He has gained international popularity by performing outside of Mexico, in countries such as United States,[20] and in Europe, including Spain[21] and Germany,[22] as well as in countries in South America, such as Argentina,[23] Paraguay,[24] Chile,[25] Colombia,[26] Perú[27] and Ecuador.[28] He has also played at music festivals such as Vive Latino,[29] the Pal Norte[30] and the Primavera Sound.[23]
