Kevin Shields is an Irish musician, singer, songwriter, composer, and producer, born in 1963. He is best known as the vocalist and guitarist of the band My Bloody Valentine. The group significantly influenced the evolution of alternative rock with their two studio albums, "Isn't Anything" and "Loveless", which pioneered the shoegaze genre.
