At the age of 6, he began learning the violin with Jane Qinne at the North York Suzuki School of Music, with whom he studied for 6 years. After Jane moved to New Brunswick, Kevin continued his violin studies with Emily Hau. Kevin received his RCM Piano Level 9 during the covid pandemic, and his RCM Violin Level 8 in the summer of 2024.

Kevin started playing the bassoon in his high school band and liked it so much, he chose it as his major instrument. After two years of self-learning and guidance from his school teacher, Kevin began studies with Toronto based bassoonist Kristin Day.
