Kevin Bloody Wilson

Kevin Bloody Wilson, a comedic icon of Australian music, hails from the remote mining town of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. His journey into the world of music began quite innocently; he started by rewriting popular songs and crafting his own humorous lyrics purely for enjoyment.

Before his rise to fame, Kevin dabbled in various occupations, including working as an electrician, a music teacher, and selling whitegoods. However, music was always at the forefront of his mind, as he often found himself humming catchy tunes and, when the mood struck, creating outrageous parodies. One of his infamous rewrites turned Rennae and Renata's “Save Your Love” into the uproarious “Shave Your Muff.”

His initial performances entertained small audiences, often consisting of a few miners and a dog in local pubs. Encouraged by friends, Kevin recorded a collection of his risqué songs, enlisting the help of his wife Betty and their children, Travis and Jenny, to label the cassettes. The family project took off when he sold 87 out of 100 cassettes in just a week, prompting him to hit the road for live performances.

Over the past two decades, Kevin Bloody Wilson has carved out a successful niche, amassing millions of album sales and performing countless shows. His uniquely Australian songs reflect the tough, arid landscape of Kalgoorlie, drawing laughter from audiences worldwide and solidifying his status as a beloved figure in the realm of comedy music.
