Cevin Soling is an American filmmaker, writer, music producer, musician, and singer. He is a member of Mensa.
Cevin wrote and directed the short animated film, Boris the Dog, which aired on MTV in 1998 and later aired on the BBC. Also that year, he produced the documentary A Hole in the Head on the history of trepanation which was broadcast on The Learning Channel.

In 1999, his band, The Neanderthal Spongecake, released their debut album, The Side Effects of Napalm. In 2002, Cevin served as executive producer of the album When Pigs Fly: Songs You Never Thought You'd Hear, which is a collection of popular songs recorded by artists unlikely to record them. After convincing Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot to record a mellow version of Metal Health, he got the idea for the project and began recruiting musicians to participate. Some of the songs on the album include a version of Unforgettable by Ani DiFranco and Jackie Chan, which he co-produced with Ani DiFranco, and a cover of Shock The Monkey by Don Ho which Cevin also produced.[2] Cevin was writer, director and producer of the film The War on the War on Drugs which won the award for best experimental film at the New York Independent Film and Video Festival in 2005, as well as the High Times Stoney award for best documentary. [3] Cevin is lead singer and songwriter of the band The Love Kills Theory. Their album Happy Suicide, Jim! was released in January of 2007.
