KEVIN LOH

When Kevin was just 12 years old, he was talent-scouted by the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School through his YouTube channel. This recognition led to an extraordinary opportunity where he was awarded a grant from The Rolling Stones to pursue his musical studies at the illustrious institution as their first Asian guitarist.

Most recently, Kevin earned both his Master of Music & Performance Certificate in Guitar Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, studying under the guidance of world-renowned guitarist, Cuban-born Prof. René Izquierdo. Building upon his exceptional educational experience there, he has now transitioned into a faculty role as a Lecturer in the Classical Guitar Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
