Kevin Chatham
Kevin Chatham works primarily in video production to support his habit of making music, but deeply wishes that it was the other way around right now. He is capable of playing about a dozen instruments competently without being particularly proficient in any of them. When he's not busy making things, he is playing games and ranting about the death of cafe culture to anyone who can't run faster than him. And, he's probably staying up way too late.
