"This business of music and entertainment Is my passion" says Karvin "and I thank God daily for the opportunity to work in this industry, helping others realize their dreams. From the very beginning I have been very fortunate to collaborate with very talented guys and girls. Halo came together as just a bunch of talented guys that loved making music and showing off what we had created to any and everyone that would look or listen. I think that's what has been unique about the band, our first agenda was to just create meaningful songs.
We are very proud of what we are still enjoying after 30 years, and that's the fans that still appreciate our music. It's like magic, the email we get from Europe and other parts of the world has generated new life with-in the band members and yes, we are gonna Do It again! ....Stay Tuned for that music that touches your brain and tickles your soul".
