Kevin is a great artist, great songs, killer vocals... - Isaiah-Raymond (Raymond & Co.)
...one of the best. - Dave Hauser- Columbia Records A&R
He has the talent to be a mainstay in the gospel music industry. Kevin's vocals and musical styling are similar to that of gospel artist Smoky Norful.

…vocals are reminiscent of between Smokie Norful and Tonex. Almost something you would expect from Deitrick Haddon, but has a unique twist that makes it Kevin Gray. You oughta go support this brother and go buy this CD! When this guy drops a full-length project I'm definitely getting it, and so should you.

I have never in all my 28 years of life experienced God's hand on an anointed project until I heard Kevin Gray's CD. To all who are reading this review, I sense in my spirit that you need to purchase this CD, if you have not already done so. It is God's will that Kevin Gray's CD, "I've Just Begun", be in your personal gospel music collection. Buy it!!!! It is life changing, Soul stirring, and spirit lifting. Experience the music, Experience the presence of the Lord. Experience Kevin Gray! - Queenie Keys (CD Baby Review)
I came across Minister Gray and almost fell out of my chair! The voice is smooth, rich, and warm, and the riffs run like water. If you like neo soul at its best then you will not be disappointed. With only 6 tracks this EP is packed with refreshing music to stir your soul and entice your musical palette. For all the songwriters out there you will love Kevin's lyricism. The flow of words and imagery transport you to some peaceful place, or encourage you to hold on. I found myself in almost every song, as this ministry spoke to my life. Your money will be well spent on this one. I am officially hooked! - Gospel Artists Independent Network
You truly have a God given talent. I have been touched by your music. I pray the blessing of the Lord upon your ministry. Keep going on in the name of the Lord. God Bless You. - Jeremme Collier
The CD is excellent. The tracks are amazing....fresh, new, upbeat. It's a true spirit lifter. "What comes from the heart truly reaches the heart". Pick up this project and be blessed over and over. I was speechless when I first heard it. It's a must have. For all the sleepers....."Please wake up" - Zita (CD Baby Review)
I encourage everyone to get your copy quick, fast, and in a hurry! This CD is a true blessing. GOD has raised up a new generation and generations to come; and he has given us an icon that will be a legend in the gospel industry...But don't take my word for it, go see for yourself!!! - the unknown (CD Baby Review)
This CD definitely has the hands of God all in it. Hold On has reached me in the deepest troubling times... and when he breaks off into I see you running through a meadow...la la la la la... there is freedom in that... Awesome. I love all of the songs including Good Man which gets much play also on my CD player. I recommend this CD to ALL! - LaSaundra (CD Baby Review)

Bio
Born and raised in one of the most renowned music Mecca's of the world, Kevin holds fast to his Chicago roots. He began singing at the age of seven at his grandfather's church. At the age of eleven, Kevin took the opportunity and joined Chicago's own "Soul Children". For almost a year Kevin experienced a very disciplined vocal training, which in turn gave him a foundation that was priceless.
Kevin has transfixed gospel audiences alike with his signature golden gospel/jazz vocals. Since his first EP release "Just the Beginning", he has won the respect and admiration of music lovers such as Kim Stratton and Kim Burrell. His hit song "Don't Give up" set the stage for his prophetic flow and his willingness to encourage and edify the body of Christ as well as non believers.
In 1992, Kevin teamed up with is brother, the late Marvin R. Gray Jr. and joined his vision for a community choir called "Rezzurection". The ministry of this choir lasted for 3 years and toured all over the Chicago and Milwaukee area. Kevin is Minister of Music at his home church, Word of Life Bible Fellowship Church, where his father Bishop Marvin R. Gray Sr. presides. Along with the vision of his father he believes that where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.
As a producer and songwriter, he feels that writing from personal experiences is the best way to reach hearts, and cause life-changing activity. His vision is Ministry through Music. He knows that when you put God first, all the other things in life that are needed he will give. In his own words, "I'm just a tool that wants to be used for the glory of God".
Now he turns the page and takes his recording career to the next level. He is now preparing to release his highly anticipated full debut album sometime in the summer 2005.
