Kevin "Earthday Earleybird" Earley is an artist and musician based out of Northern Virginia. His life story is told in the Ken Burn’s produced documentary "Hiding In Plain Sight - Youth Mental Illness" which can be seen on PBS nationwide.

His love for hip-hop goes back decades, as he wrote and performed his first raps in elementary school at the age of seven years old. His rap name was given to him by a childhood friend, a pun based on his last name. He then later added the "Earthday" to his name, because he was born on Earth Day.

He has been recording and releasing music for over 20 years. He lives in the Northern Virginia area of the D.M.V. (District, Maryland & Virginia) where he was born and raised. In addition to telling his life story, he contributed artwork to the film and his original music scores the credits of both episodes of the documentary. Following its release, he was invited to The White House in 2022.

He is also a national public speaker, having spoken about his life experiences in Baltimore, Birmingham, Blacksburg, Chicago, Columbus, Denver, Fairfax, Pennsylvania, Richmond, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

As a recording artist, he made his official debut on the Witchdoctor’s 2007 album, THE DIARY OF AN AMERICAN WITCHDOCTOR. He has worked with notable musicians such as Big Rube, Myka 9 and Substantial.
