Kevin Gordon: Overcoming Shyness, Music, Rugby League, Confront Your Fears

Kevin Gordon

Early Days at the Gold Coast Titans.
The hardest part of professional rugby league.
Taking the footy mentality and applying it to other parts of life.
Rollerblading in Miami and Burleigh.
Enlightening the world by being your weird self.

A transition from professional rugby league to interest in acting.
Being told by a nurse “There goes your acting career” was an inspiration to take on the acting. After performing his first monologue and earning a scholarship to go to America he felt a new world open up. “It was one of the scariest things I've ever done - auditioning.”
“When something scares you it has power over you. Once you do it it feels like you are free and can do more with your life. That’s the lesson I got from it.” - Kevin Gordon

On producing music - doing a live show is the big goal.
The road to the art world isn’t as straightforward as playing professional rugby league. In league there is a plan and if you follow it you have a chance of making it. It’s different in the artworld - you doing your own thing.

Kev’s new album is out on all platforms now.
The Deepening. “It’s about expressing yourself more in a deep way.”

I purchased the album through Itunes after this conversation. I tried to pay close attention to the lyrics. A lot of it was freaking hilarious! There are a few songs you hear and think “these are pretty full on”. That is his goal - to make people think more about what’s happening around the world, especially with the mainstream media’s delivery of “news.”
It is $12 on Itunes and although I thought at first I would purchase it just to support a friend but after listening I actually enjoyed the music.
