Kevz: voice, technique and why the former Amango who went from Kevin Karla to soloist returned to conquer Latin America with Víveme y Yo Quiero

Kevz —Kevin Ricardo Vásquez Villanueva— was Kevin Gálvez in Amango, the youthful face who won the Silver Torch at the 2008 Viña del Mar Festival and sold two platinum albums before turning sixteen. Then he formed Kevin Karla y la Banda with his sister, converted hits by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran into Spanish before more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube —according to Wikipedia—and in 2018 he debuted his solo role with Cerro Alegre and the Homoerötico EP. In 2024–2025 he returned to the center of the Latin American vocal map with covers of Yo Quiero and Víveme that Ceci Dover analyzed to tears: "It's a total diamond." This profile, the twenty-first of Voices that make magic, reviews a light Chilean tenor that has been on stage for almost two decades and that today demonstrates that Amango's voice was not a closed chapter.

Voice: light tenor with a series and studio style

Wikipedia classifies Kevin Vásquez as a light tenor: agile register, bright center and ease in Latin pop. In Amango (Canal 13, 2007–2009) he sang live before millions of Chilean viewers; At Viña 2008 he shared the stage with established figures and received a standing ovation from the public. That early training—microphony, stage presence, endurance on tour—explains why his current covers don't sound like bedroom karaoke: they have projection and narration.

La Cuarta summarizes its evolution: from the boy of the Silver Torch to the producer who, with Karla Vásquez, dominated the niche of Spanish covers on YouTube. Own songs like Bipolar and Cobardes al amar show intimate lyrics and a more confessional register; The recent covers —Yo Quiero by Cristian Castro, Víveme by Laura Pausini— show that his tessitura fits the most demanding Latin ballad.

In the Chilean geography of this series, Kevz dialogues with Bray On —another pop tenor who dazzled by imitation and virality—, but his trajectory is different: childhood career on TV, years of studio production and solo return under the name Kevz. Ceci Dover found it on TikTok, not on a reality show; The Argentine and Chilean press agreed that his problem is not his voice, but rather the visibility that still does not reach his talent.

From Dreamers to Homoerötico: two sides of the same singer

With Kevin Karla and the Band he published the album Dreamers (2013), which debuted at number 9 in Chile according to Wikipedia, and filled the Teatro Facetas in 2014 with the show «Sin Conditions». The duo was recognized by YouTube and Google AdSense as a prominent channel in Latin America—more than 273 million views accumulated in their catalog of covers, a figure cited in the same source.

In 2018 he adopted the name Kevz for his solo career: Cerro Alegre, the EP Homoerötico and singles like Queen or Bipolar explore identity, heartbreak and urban pop with self-production on KVN Records. 13.cl indicates that it exceeds 100 000 monthly listeners on Spotify and maintains an active community on Instagram (@unkevz).

In Ceci Dover's video "When the cover surpasses the original" (YouTube), the coach with more than a million subscribers insists: "He has to release his own songs... He is a completely original artist." For Kevz, the challenge of 2026 is not to demonstrate technique — he has been doing it for years — but to convert the viral wave into a tour and sustained repertoire of his own.

Repertoire that best shows your voice

• Amango (2007–2009) — live training; platinum and Viña 2008.
• Covers Kevin Karla — catalog in Spanish of international hits (YouTube).
• Cerro Alegre (2018) — Kevz solo debut.
• Bipolar and Cowards to love — own author.
• Víveme (Laura Pausini) — viral cover; video clip above.
• Yo Quiero (Cristian Castro) — cover analyzed by Ceci Dover; video above.
• Volver a Amar — another cover by Cristian Castro on his channel.

Why it fits into Voices That Make Magic

Kevz is the voice that grew up with an entire generation in Chile and that, without giving up its history, continues to surprise when it sings ballads that others avoid. His case links with Cristian Castro in the repertoire, with Bray On in contemporary Chilean virality and with the premise of the series: listening to someone sing well is a privilege that time and fashions do not they should bury In Víveme, in his own song or on a full stage, Kevz makes magic with a light tenor that already proved his worth before an audience of millions when he was still a teenager.

In summary
