In the Studio... Kevin Kadish

After getting the attention of Matt Serletic, he was soon offered a staff songwriter position and, within a couple of weeks of moving to Los Angeles, was in the studio with Willie Nelson, teaching his songs to Willie's band.

Since that time, as a songwriter and producer, he's worked with dozens of top names including Stacie Orrico, Nikki Sixx, Rob Thomas, Jason Mraz, Bif Naked, Cheetah Girls, Taylor Hicks, Meat Loaf, Uncle Cracker, and Miley Cyrus.
