Winning Sweden’s biggest reality talent show has opened up plenty of opportunities in KevinWalker’s burgeoning music career.
Kevin Walker at Tele2 Arena on Oct. 17, 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden.
He dreams of one day singing at Madison Square Garden in New York, or Wembley Stadium in London. Walker isn’t forgetting about his day job, though. When he’s not in a studio or making music videos, the 30-year-old Walker is a soccer player with Djurgården, which is in contention to win the Swedish league title for the first time in 14 years.
“I went out of my comfort zone, did something in front of millions of people that I wasn’t trained to do,” the central midfielder told The Associated Press in an interview on a chilly afternoon before Djurgården’s practice session in central Stockholm. “I got through that, and really learned about how I work under immense pressure and when I get nervous. It was developing for me as a person, and I’ll carry that with me for the rest of my life.
He had always liked a “sing-song” from when he was a small child and he used to go to Ireland — the birthplace of his father, Pat, a former soccer player and coach — to visit family. So Walker took the plunge. Someone filmed him singing four songs alongside a piano player, and the video was shown to a producer of when the show was in town looking for contestants. Walker ended up applying, passing the auditions, and winning the whole thing — earning a contract with Universal Music in the process.
