Kevin Bong, aka 'KBONG' is a multi- instrumental artist who is well known for his key role in reggae band Stick Figure.
Touring with the group since 2012, KBong has solidified his place as one of the top keyboard players in today’s current Reggae scene. On August 24 2018 KBong released his second studio album ‘Easy To Love You,’ produced by Johnny Cosmic and featuring Scott Woodruff (Stick Figure), The Movement, Raging Fyah, and the aforementioned Cosmic.
Bong’s easy going approach to music shows itself in the project. As Bong says, “Music is an expression of ourselves; it’s an art form. Whether you’re playing for one person or a thousand, music soothes the soul.”
Johnny Cosmic is a producer, artist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, performer and contributor to a Grammy Award winning album based out of Oakland’s Great Stone Studios, former home of Green Day. Cosmic rose to prominence in his role working with Stick Figure on production and performing in the live band, for which he is still a member. He also has a burgeoning solo career, including racking up millions of streams for his singles Kingdom ft. The Movement, and Sun and the Moon ft. Collie Buddz.
