The 3-part harmony lessons from his father, coupled with the household soundtrack of soul giants, it seems he always knew what he would be doing with his life. “I can’t really remember a time when I wanted to be anything else. For a while there, it was the thing in my life that made the most sense.” In 2012 Kirk gave an all or nothing push to start his career. Opening up for the likes of Mint Condition, Emily King, and Lauryn Hill, Kirk has continued his pursuit for music that is real and timeless.
