Kevin was born in Newcastle into an all-white family. He grew up thinking his grandparents were his real parents and that his actual Mum was his sister. At age 12 he discovered the truth and that he was actually mixed race with his real Dad from Ghana. He didn’t realise it at the time but this earth-shattering news would send him on a lifelong journey of self discovery from Tyneside to Tinseltown via the boxing ring, the actor’s guild and the artist’s studio.
