Kevin Patrick Shields was born on 21 May 1963 in Jamaica Hospital in Queens, New York City, United States. He is the eldest of five siblings born to Irish parents; his mother was a nurse and his father was an executive in the food industry. Shields' parents had emigrated to the United States from Ireland in the 1950s, when the couple were teenagers. Shields attended Christ the King, a Roman Catholic primary school which he described as "a really horrible school run by psychopathic nuns".

Shields' guitar sound has been cited as one of the most recognisable aspects of My Bloody Valentine's music. His sound uses "texture more than technique to create vivid soundscapes". He has been listed at number 95 and 2  on Rolling Stone's and Spin's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list. During the late 1980s, Shields began customising the tremolo systems for his Fender Jaguars and Jazzmaster guitars; he extended the tremolo arm and loosened it considerably, to allow him to manipulate the arm while strumming chords, which resulted in significant pitch bending. Shields used a number of alternate and open tunings that together with his tremolo manipulation, according to Rolling Stone's Michael Azerrad, achieved "a strange warping effect that makes the music wander in and out of focus".  Among Shields' notable effects is digital reverse reverb, sourced from a Yamaha SPX90 effects unit. Together with the tremolo manipulation and distortion, he created a technique known as "glide guitar". Shields effects rig, which is composed largely of distortion, graphic equalisers and tone controls, consists of at least 30 effects pedals. His rig is connected to a large number of amplifiers which are often set to maximum volume to increase sustain. During live performances with My Bloody Valentine - particularly during the closing "You Made Me Realise" - Shields creates a blend of noise and excessive feedback, known as "the holocaust", which has often lasted for half an hour and often reached 130db. "It was so loud it was like sensory deprivation," he remarked. "We just liked the fact that we could see a change in the audience at a certain point."  Shields' sound and performance have been regarded as influential, with musicians including Billy Corgan and J Mascis citing him as an influence.  "Kevin Shields achieved something on Loveless that only the great guitarists achieve: he achieved a wholeness and a unity," observed Living Colour's Vernon Reid. "He created his own sound."

Kevin Patrick Shields föddes den 21 maj 1963 i Jamaica Hospital i Queens, New York, USA. Han är äldst av fem syskon födda av irländska föräldrar; hans mor var sjuksköterska och hans far var en exekutiv inom livsmedelsindustrin. Shields föräldrar hade emigrerat till USA från Irland på 1950-talet, då paret var tonåringar. Shields gick i Christ the King, en romersk-katolsk grundskola som han beskrev som "en riktigt hemsk skola som drivs av psykopatiska nunnor". Shields gitarrljud har citerats som en av de mest igenkännliga aspekterna av My Bloody Valentines musik. Hans sound använder "textur mer än teknik för att skapa livfulla ljudlandskap". Han har noterats på nummer 95 och 2 på Rolling Stones och Spins 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time lista. Under slutet av 1980-talet började Shields skräddarsy tremolosystemen för sina Fender Jaguars och Jazzmaster-gitarrer; han förlängde tremoloarmen och lossade den avsevärt, för att låta honom manipulera armen samtidigt som han slog ackord, vilket resulterade i betydande tonhöjdsböjning. Shields använde ett antal alternativa och öppna stämmor som tillsammans med hans tremolomanipulation, enligt Rolling Stones Michael Azerrad, uppnådde "en märklig warpverkan som får musiken att vandra in och ut ur fokus". Bland Shields noterbara effekter finns digital omvänd reverb, som kommer från en Yamaha SPX90 effektenhet. Tillsammans med tremolomanipulationen och distorsionen skapade han en teknik känd som "glidgitarr". Sköldeffektriggen, som till stor del består av distorsion, grafiska utjämnare och tonkontroller, består av minst 30 effektpedaler. Hans rigg är kopplad till ett stort antal förstärkare som ofta är inställda på maximal volym för att öka resistans. Under liveframträdanden med My Bloody Valentine - särskilt under avslutningen "You Made Me Realise" - skapar Shields en blandning av brus och överdriven feedback, känd som "the Holocaust", som ofta har varat i en halvtimme och ofta nått 130db. »Det var så högt, att det var som sensoriskt försakelse», anmärkte han. "Vi gillade bara det faktum att vi kunde se en förändring i publiken vid en viss tidpunkt." Shields sound och performance har betraktats som inflytelserika, med musiker som Billy Corgan och J Mascis som citerar honom som en influens. "Kevin Shields uppnådde något på Loveless som bara de stora gitarristerna uppnår: han uppnådde en helhet och en enhet", konstaterade Living Colour's Vernon Reid. "Han skapade sitt eget ljud."
