Clifford Ian Fernando Simpson (born July 16, 1996), better known by his stage name Kevin Abstract, is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, producer, and filmmaker from Corpus Christi, TX. He is the de-facto leader of the All-American boy band, BROCKHAMPTON, and was heavily influenced by Nirvana, Will Smith (as both a rapper and actor), and Kanye West among others.
As a musical artist, Kevin gained traction when he toured with the Californian indie band The Neighbourhood. Jesse Rutherford, the lead singer of the band, became good friends with Kevin and promoted his second album, American A Suburban Love Story on social media.
Kevin released several projects years ago that most aren’t even aware of, largely due to the the fact that they can’t be found on his social media platforms anymore, or that they are missing entirely—which is why some of the lyrics to his projects are unable to be transcribed.
