A highly gifted musician, thirteen years old Kevin Loh started learning the classical guitar from his father when he was five years old. That same year, Kevin gave his first solo guitar performance and at age nine became the youngest principle ensemble player with the then TPGC Niborii Guitar Orchestra under the baton of Mr. Alex Abisheganaden, a Cultural Medallion Winner and Pioneer of Singapore Classical Guitar Movement.

Kevin went on to attain his Grade 8 in classical guitar from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) at age eleven, the youngest-ever to achieve this in Singapore.

In 2010,. Kevin was talent scouted by the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School in United Kingdom. His talent led to a quick acceptance to the school's classical guitar programme, making him the sixcth classical guitar student in the school's history and the first from outside of Europe. At the Yehudi Menuhin School, Kevin has continued to develop musically, earning praise from Mr. Richard Wright, head of Guitar programme, who described Kevin as "a guitarist of limitless potential. A great talent."

Despite his young age, Kevin has already played in numerous master classes for international guitar players such as John Williams, Andrea Dieci, Fabio Zanon, Flavio Cucchi, Jeremy Jouve, Judicael Perroy, Manuel Barrueco, Oscal Ghiglia, Shinichi Fukuda, Thibault Cauvin and Yang Xuefei. Kevin's rare talent led Mr. Judicael Perroy, professor at the National Academy of Aulnay-sous-Bois and international concert guitarist to compliment him as "the most talented boy I've ever heard."

Beyond his musical achievements, Kevin is also passionate about community work and has performed in numerous charity events, the most recent being the President Star Charity 2011 and ChildAid 2010 Concert. He also performed at the Closing Ceremony of the inaugural Singapore Youth Olympic Games 2010 at the invitation of Cultural Medallion recipient Mr. Iskandar Ismail.

In 2010, Kevin was presented the prestigious HSBC Youth Excellence Award for Musical Excellence making him the first to have received this award for the classical guitar. In Feb 2011, Kevin gave his debut concert at the Esplanade Concert Hall making him the first-ever Singaporean guitarist to do so. A young talent with tremendous energy and potential, Kevin has a bright future as a beacon of youth excellence in music for our community.
