Kevin Simm, a former winner of The Voice UK, has recently made a comeback in the music industry as the lead singer of a popular 80s band. But his journey to success has been a long and winding one, starting from his teenage years when he first decided to pursue a career in performing.
In 1996, Kevin formed the indie-pop band AnAlien, and three years later, he appeared on the ITV talent show Stars in Their Eyes, where he impressed as Simon Fowler from Ocean Colour Scene. But it wasn't until 2001 when he auditioned for Popstars, another talent show, that he gained recognition as one of the finalists. Although he didn't win the series, he, along with other finalists, formed the successful group Liberty X.
After signing a multimillion-pound record contract and releasing three albums with seven Top 10 singles, Liberty X eventually split up in 2007. Despite releasing a solo album and performing at festivals and pubs, Kevin's music career seemed to have hit a roadblock. But in 2016, he made a surprising comeback by winning The Voice UK.
However, the road to success was not easy for Kevin. During his time away from the spotlight, he had to take on various odd jobs to support his family, including working as an electrician, a fencer, and a wedding photographer. He also faced challenges in the music industry, with some people doubting his abilities as a singer after being part of a pop group.
But Kevin didn't let these obstacles stop him from pursuing his passion for music. He auditioned for The Voice UK and impressed all four coaches with his performance of Sia's "Chandelier." He eventually chose to join Paloma Faith's team and went on to win the competition.
Since then, Kevin has joined another band, Wet Wet Wet, in 2018. The band, best known for their 1994 hit "Love Is All Around," had been looking for a new lead singer, and Kevin's wife, who had seen him on The Voice, suggested him for the role. Despite not being a big name or topping the charts, Kevin is grateful for the opportunity to make a living out of singing and believes that all his hard work has finally paid off.
As he continues to pursue his music career, Kevin remains humble and focused on his passion. He believes that fame should not be the driving force behind his success and that his music should speak for itself. And tonight, as The Voice UK finale airs, we can't wait to see what's next for this talented artist.
