“America’s Got Talent”, Rise to Prominence
Kevin auditioned for the fourth season of “America’s Got Talent” in August 2009, and in his first appearances played his own rendition of the song “If Tomorrow Never Comes”, originally performed by Garth Brooks. He received positive reviews for his performance and was chosen for the main draw. He soon became a fan favorite, and continued his rise to stardom while in the show, performing such songs as “Make You Feel My Love” originally by Bob Dylan, then “Always on My Mind” by Brenda Lee, while in the finals he sang “I Don’t’ Wanna Miss a Thing”, by Aerosmith. This rendition got him first place and a prize of $1 million; he chose to have his money prize paid out over the next 40 years.
Career Decline, Marital Problems, and Withdrawal from Public
Following his win, Kevin had big plans for his career; he signed a contract with the Cypress Tree record label, and started working on his debut album. “Long Ride” came out on the 17th March 2010, however, the reviews were nowhere near good – the album failed to chart and sales were far less than he hoped for, and Kevin’s popularity began declining. He went on a tour in support of his album, and recorded the live album “Kevin Skinner: Live And Unplugged”, which was released in March 2011, however, the fate was the same as with his debut studio album.
In addition to this unsuccessful start of his career, Kevin’s wife left him and their two children; this had a further negative effect on Kevin, and he withdrew from public view in 2012. Two years later, his family reported him missing to the police and he was found a few days later. However, since then Kevin hasn’t made new music, and is reportedly living away from his family.

Kevin, you are good man! Please pick yourself up and get back doing what you were meant to do. Great music buddy! God bless man!
<3 …
dear kevin i hope you you are reading this. i have never suffered from depression so i don’t know how you feel, but when i listen to you singing i just melt when i hear your voice. I think you would do well to get yourself an agent in ireland and go and tour all over ireland. The irish would welcome you with open arms. The country music scene in ireland is Hot and you would be brilliant. Please keep singing, god gave you a fantastic voice for a reason so that you could make me and millions of other people happy. It would be a waste not to hear you sing anymore.
Hey Kevin, love your music
Kevin,
I sure understand how you must feel, man you owe it to yourself to get up and dust off your jeans and get back to what it is you do and that’s sing to the world. Your album had good songs but with any good song it needs the singer to make it a hit . I always felt you was the next Garth prove to yourself once again hell prove it to the whole damn world brother! I wish I could sing , but god didn’t grace me with that talent, hell to be honest I’m still wondering what talhe even gave me at all besides simple everyday everyone types. So many people like myself that never got your kind of talent get our taste through the likes of you! Hope you actually get to read and understand what this says. Good moving around my friend.
[email protected] Kevin skinner, you are the real deal, get the help you need to get back on your feet. I have a sister who suffer from mental health, she’s on medication & she’s doing better. You are not forgotten ❤ we love your voice. God bless you 🙏.
hey kevin. i just read about you- success, failure and depression. Everything- good and bad happens for reasons. It is the Almighty that knows all. If you have not picked yourself up yet- it aint too late to do so. Time to reflect. Dont spoil yourself with narcotics and alcohol. You will be ruined. Come on kevin i know you can rise and be a better person.
Kevin please there is help. There are people and meds to help you. Been thru it all it is hard and lonely, but you can’t do it. You are great. Maybe one day you can sing that Tobey Keith song, How do you like me now.
I’m pulling for you

Kevin, I’ve been thru the drugs, alcohol and tried taking my life because of depression. I found God and gave my life to Him and that is the best thing I’ve ever done. I am living a life I never dreamed possible and have found true happiness. God blessed you with great talent and He will help you get back to doing what you do best…singing! You have an awesome voice that needs to be heard. Praying that you will find happiness again.
This article is so full of misinformation. Dont believe everything you read. I happen to know he isnt living away from his family. His wife Kristen divorced him because she was having an affair with a bodyguard. They did not have two children together, they have zero together.
Kevin is living the way he wants, hunting and spending time with his family.
I am so happy someone is telling the truth, I am Kevin’s first ex wife. We have a son together. This article is so misleading. His depression started long before he ever won and anyone who fights with pain understands this! And I’m sure he still makes music, just not for the rest of the world.
Kevin brother…. now realized you suffer with some amount of depression …. there are ways out.
Your talent is beautiful in an honest way…. dust the jeans and pursue what I believe you were born to do…. keep on trucking bro.
Hey Kevin, Hope all is well. Do what makes you happy whatever that may be. Good luck God bless and stay well.
Kevin i remember the first time i heard you brought tears , you are awesome man, come to Branson Missouri i think you would love it here
Hi Kevin, Hearing the news of the horrible tornado that hit Mayfield, I immediately thought of you.
I hope you and your family are well. Your fans still remember ans still care deeply

I tried to tell Kevin in the beginning that he had the wrong people around him.They were just “hanger-on” for his attention.
Kevin, when I heard of the devastating tornado in Mayfield, I remembered you were from there. I listened to your AGT audition several times. I first heard after my husband of 45 years died suddenly, and boy, did it ever mean a lot. “If tomorrow never comes, and she had to do without me,” Wow! Would the love he showed me last? I posted this on my FB page and said, “Yes, it would!” And it’s still lasting! It helped that he wrote me lots of notes, which I kept. I have God, too. His love is an everlasting love. ❤️❤️
Dear Kevin, God only made one of you..there is no one on earth made like you . You need to get up , put your big boy pants on and go do what God created you for..
You are so blessed..Thank God for it..I’m an old lady and I’m waiting to hear you again..
Hey Kevin, I managed Barbara Padilla for a year and then she diva-ed out on me. Let’s do something. If anyone knows him…give him my email here: [email protected]
I’m currently Shania’s pianist and live on a horse farm in Lexington KY.
