Kevin Saunderson Biography

Kevin Saunderson is one of the most popular and richest Music Producer who was born on September 5, 1964 in New York, New York, United States. Electronic music producer who is widely credited as one of the originators of the Detroit techno scene, having founded the KMS label and released classic tracks like “Just Want Another Chance.” He has performed music under several aliases, including Kreem, E-Dancer and Inner City.

He is a protégée of fellow Detroit techno innovator Juan Atkins.

During high school, Saunderson and Belleville High School classmate Juan Atkins were fans of DJ Charles “The Electrifying Mojo” Johnson. Atkins and May soon became serious about mixing others’ music and creating their own, but Saunderson pursued other goals first, studying telecommunications and playing American football at Eastern Michigan University. Atkins had begun recording with Cybotron in 1981, but it was not until 1987 that May followed suit and made a record. Initially concentrating on becoming a DJ, Saunderson was inspired to create his own music after watching the six-month-long process as Atkins and May completed “Let’s Go.”

Inner City is a Saunderson collaboration that came about “by accident,” according to Saunderson. In 1987 he recorded a backing track in his home studio, but needed lyrics and a female vocalist. His friend, Chicago house producer Terry ‘Housemaster’ Baldwin suggested Paris Grey. “Paris agreed, flew into Detroit, came up with lyrics and ‘Big Fun’ was born.” Saunderson filed away the tape until, months later, UK dance entrepreneur Neil Rushton came to Detroit in search of music for a compilation album, Techno – The New Dance Sound Of Detroit for Virgin Records. Rushton included “Big Fun” on the album. It was soon released as a single and became a worldwide smash, only to be outsold by Inner City’s follow-up single, “Good Life.” A debut album, Paradise, soon followed. Over the years, and after three albums, Inner City had nine Top 40 hits in the UK and two Top 20 albums, with combined sales of more than six million.

He has children named Dantiez and DaMarii.
