Articles by Kerwin Young

Kerwin Young is a self-taught composer, record producer, recording artist and multi-instrumentalist. He considers himself a “geometric khemist”, one who manipulates mensural frequencies. In 2007, he was commissioned by Clark Atlanta University to compose for the Spelman/Morehouse string quartet. This was Kerwin’s first commission and first ever concert performance. Kerwin composes for symphonic orchestra, wind orchestra, chamber and jazz ensembles, television, film, and other interactive media.

He began his professional career as a local nightclub dee-jay in 1988, and then went on to produce such artists as Public Enemy, Bobby Brown, Busta Rhymes, Angie Stone, Olivia, Eric B. & Rakim, The 2Live Crew ,Mobb Deep and Yung Joc. As a co-producer, he has collaborated with several artists which include: The James Brown Band, Eddie Kendricks, Roy Haynes, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Ice Cube, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, Tevin Campbell, Nick Martinelli, and the list goes on. In the film and television realm, Kerwin has composed and produced original works for Sister Act 2, Street Fighter, He Got Game, New York Undercover, Girl Friends, and the theme song to the Flavor Of Love.

When life situations are unfavorable, and the song is over-played and has become outdated, that is the time to re-harmonize the situation. Re-structure the environment; change the texture and view of that which has become distasteful, unpleasant and overtly unbearable. What I’m saying here, in case your brain happens to function at a low/slow capacity, is that you must regroup and restructure your surroundings; change your associations and habits. Start again.
