About Kevin
A natural coach, Kevin loves encouraging young people to be the best they can be. Kevin has taught music for more than 30 years. He learned piano at a young age and then added guitar.
Kevin’s passion is to instill a love of music to students, so they are not only able to play with excellence, but they are also able to play with passion in their hearts.
Music Background
Kevin Bellile grew up in Iowa – and always loved playing guitar and performing for audiences. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a certification for Director of Christian Education from Concordia University. From there he and his wife Kellee moved to Los Angeles, and both enrolled in the legendary Dick Grove School of Music – other attendees include Michael Jackson, Linda Ronstadt and Barry Manilow.
From playing on live tours, to leading worship, to arranging and producing bands and artists in the LA area, Kevin has built an impressive and lasting musical legacy.
His love of music has continued by establishing Arrow Academy of Music with Kellee; where they teach using many of the principles they learned at Dick Grove, empowering younger students across the nation with a one-of-a-kind approach to music.
Beyond Arrow
Kevin and Kellee have two wonderful children, both a large part of the inspiration for Arrow!
When not teaching or playing, Kevin enjoys discovering new cooking recipes, taking his dog Bo for nature walks, and being with family.
Kevin produced and arranged “Hymns of Grace”, a CD and music book set for churches to play traditional hymns in a contemporary way. He also founded, wrote songs for, performed with, and managed a band that toured in several states.
