Before you ask “where is KevJumba?”, here’s the statement on the YTF website:

As many of you know, Kev is currently focusing on other professional interests, and as a result will no longer be collaborating as an active member of YTF. Kev is an amazing talent and dear friend, and will always be a part of the YTF brotherhood. We’ll miss you Kev!

2012 YTF Legacy Fall Tour

YTF was conceived as a way to collaborate artistically and interact with fans in an intimate, exciting way never before experienced. YTF’s mission is to not only entertain, but share the group’s personal message of empowerment. The philosophy behind YTF – Yesterday, Today, Forever – is that success and happiness in life start with individual choice: Yesterday is in the past. Today you have a choice. Forever is up to you.

With this message, YTF has created a live show featuring singing, dancing and comedy and a hip, wholesome and positive vibe. The entire YTF crew – Ryan, Victor, Chester, D-Trix, Andrew and JR – welcomes you to share in their dreams, and enjoy the show!
