Keyboardist Kit Watkins was the child of two classical piano teachers. After learning to play the piano at a very young age, Watkins played keyboards in cover bands, progressing up to songs by ELP and Rush. In college he met guitarist Stanley Whitaker, who introduced him to even more of the prog rock world. In 1973 Watkins joined Whitaker's band Happy The Man.

In 1979, after only releasing two albums (more would be released later), Happy The Man broke up. Watkins then joined Camel, and recorded I Can See Your House From Here with them. Since then Watkins has released numerous keyboard based solo albums, as well as albums with Coco Roussel and Brad Allen. His solo work ranges from Happy the Man style progressive rock to ambient music to electronic variations of classical pieces.
