Kevin Bonnet (French pronunciation: [kevin bɔne]; born 31 January 1983), better known as Keen'V, earlier Keen V, is a French ragga musician. He made his breakthrough with the single "J'aimerais trop" in 2011, peaking at number 3 on the French Singles Chart.^[1]

Kevin Bonnet was born on January 31, 1983, in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, France. He studied at the André Maurois college in La Saussaye and then at the Ferdinand Buisson high school in Elbeuf. Subsequently, he became a volunteer firefighter in Amfreville-la-Campagne, and DJ and entertainer at the "Moulin Rose" nightclub in Belbeuf and César's in Gournay-en-Bray. The beginnings of Keen'v are made at the "Moulin Rose", the DJ of the discotheque offers him to take the turntables and Kévin accepts the offer. Because the public appreciates his performance, the singer decides to return and finds himself alone in front of an audience for the first time.

In 2005, he met the composer Fabrice Vanvert (also known as Fab'V), with whom he composed the songs Loco la salsa and Soca soca te quiero, and performed in around fifty nightclubs in France. He met singers Obed and L'Rayan and together, they released a music video, Dancehall Musik, composed by Fab'V. A few months later, he met DJ Yaz who asked him to become his producer. He then obtains a contract at Universal Music which allows him to release new titles. In 2007, he met Toy Nawaach, a dancer from Limoges who would become his sidekick on stage.

Beginning on 15 April 2024, Keen'v is the host of the new game show "The Song" in France on the NRJ television station.^[2]
