You know Kevin Quinn as the cute and charming Xander on Bunk’D…but did you know that he once auditioned for American Idol?

Seriously, he did.

“I think if I were to do it again, it would be a lot different just because I’d be older and more cognizant. I was kind of just going with the flow, I was like, ‘Okay I’ll sing for you guys!’ I had no idea what I was doing basically. I was a naive 15 year old,” he tells the January 2017 issue of NKD mag.

Kevin is a super talented musician and you should expect to see him debuting new music soon.

“When I’m acting, I love it so much but it’s someone else’s writing. For me, to be able to write my own songs and to express what I made as an organic thought, and make it into this 3.5 minute catchy song, that’s the coolest thing for me,” he shares.

“I feel like a lot of Disney stars tend to do the bubble gum pop thing because it’s appealing. But I’m not really going that route. I grew up listening to the greats like Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Eric Clapton,” Kevin says. “The dream is to be one of the greats.”
