About KELVIN
World Class Star Performer
KELVIN, born Kelvin Dukes on 10/5/2005 in Maryland, USA is a natural born singing and dancing prodigy who started at the age of 3 and has been performing professionally since the age of 8. Now age 17, with musical innovations of his own, KELVIN is a seasoned veteran with the world wide open to him and a force to be reckoned with!!! He has a unique, natural vocal ability to retro himself back 40 years before he was born and capture the soul of the bygone eras of Otis Redding, Sam Cooke and their contemporaries. In the next moment, he can immediately teleport himself back to the musical vocal styles of today and own them. If anyone is skeptical about time travel, experiencing KELVIN in concert will erase all doubts!
Not only a dynamic singer, but also a prolific songwriter and composer, KELVIN has drawn his inspiration and influences not only from the aforementioned Redding and Cooke, but from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson and from Bruno Mars to Justin Bieber, and beyond. Be it in the recording studio or live on stage, the space becomes electrified from the moment he sings the first syllable into a microphone. His dance moves in a live performance keep the eyes of the audience riveted to him while the emotional swoons of his fans fill the room. KELVIN is the recipient of numerous awards for his vocal ability and has received critical acclaim for his appearances on America's Got Talent.
