Kevin "The Moose" Anderson was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1976 where his parents contributed to love for jazz mainly on Friday evenings when "mom and pops would scatter records from their individual collections on the living room floor, playing and conversing on who played with who". Also, the mix tapes that his brothers made for him while they were in school fed him hip-hop, and kept him abreast of the developments in contemporary jazz. Moose would latter find work at one of central Virginia's largest "mom and pop" music stores, Willies Records & Tapes.

The salesman position and close friendships with hometown radio DJ's Mike Street, and DJ Reese would be his formal introduction to the music industry. "What I learned from DJ Reese and Mike Street was priceless, they taught me the language of the industry, and prepared me to advance once I had landed a job". Big Cel and Moose met when working together at DJ's Music & Video, and often hung out after-work making tapes that became origin of Lessons in Jazz

Moose initially started off at WHOV as a student volunteer board operator during the summer of 1999, and quickly advanced through the ranks, becoming one of the youngest jazz programmers in the country. In 2000, he accepted a full-time position as the board operator and production manager for the nationally syndicated Doug Banks Morning Show. Kevin "The Moose" Anderson is now the Assistant Station Manager of WHOV 88.1 fm in addition to hosting and producing The World Famous Lessons In Jazz Series.
