Kevin Johnson's fascinating journey in the art of ventriloquism commenced at the tender age of nine, with no formal training to guide him. Instead, he embarked on a self-taught odyssey, dedicating a remarkable four-year period to mastering the craft.
Intrigued by the remarkable ability of parrots to articulate their thoughts with remarkable clarity, despite the absence of lips, Kevin became fixated on understanding the secrets behind their vocal prowess. This curiosity led him to re-learn the art of speaking itself, employing his tongue and throat in novel ways.
It is little wonder, therefore, that his two closest friends, Clyde and Matilda, are avian companions. This unlikely trio has been the subject of much fascination, with many questioning the nature of their bond.
Kevin's introduction to the world of entertainment came courtesy of his grandfather, Harley Noles, a seasoned magician who had performed magic shows throughout Colorado. Harley imparted wise words to Kevin, urging him to hone his skills, stating, "If you get good enough, you can open for my show."
True to his grandfather's words, Kevin made his stage debut at the tender age of 13, delivering a five-minute act featuring a wooden puppet named Raymond, lovingly crafted by his grandfather. This auspicious beginning marked the start of a remarkable career, with Kevin's performances eventually helping to fund his college education.
In 2007, Kevin achieved a lifelong dream when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, a testament to his dedication and perseverance.
