Kev Marcus is a Grammy nominated recording artist and co-founder of Black Violin, a band he formed with his longtime friend Wil Baptiste, in which they combine their classical training and hip-hop influences to create a distinctive multi-genre sound.  In addition to being a musical groundbreaker, Kev is a father, husband, activist, author and a person who pushes for progress and seeks to shatter expectations.  In this interview, Kev shares with Kiesha about finding his way after feeling trapped by the very success he pursued and about how he has approached navigating depression and replenishing his soul.
