Fast rising Afrobeat and Afrodancehall musician, Kelvin Bildad Annor-Yeboah, known by his stage name as Kvng Kelly has opened up about his his musical career.
In an exclusive interview with Radio Univers, rising star, Kvng Kelly, shared the captivating story of how his musical career began. As a multi-talented artist, Kvng Kelly revealed the early experiences that ignited his passion for music and how he nurtured that passion into a promising career.
“My journey into music began right after Senior High School,” Kvng Kelly reminisced. “During SHS, I was always singing, but it wasn’t until after school that a friend, Kwami Dee, introduced me to his keyboard teacher, Bra John. He, in turn, connected me to a producer named Inani, who recorded my first official single ‘Horny’ for free and even shot a video for it.”
Kvng Kelly isn’t just a singer; he also produces his own music. When asked about his ventures beyond singing, he detailed how he ventured into beat production, saying,
“I learned beat production on my own just last year while in school. It was challenging to finance my music, and after seeing a colleague produce a beat for me, I thought, ‘If he can do it, why can’t I?’ I realized producing my own beats would significantly cut down my costs, so I made use of the school’s free WiFi to learn through YouTube tutorials. While others used the WiFi to watch P**N, I spent countless nights mastering beat-making [Laughs].”
The interview reached its peak with the premiere of Kvng Kelly’s latest single, “Cool Down,” a fusion of Afrobeats, Dancehall vibes and highlife rhythms.
The track effortlessly blends soothing rhythms with infectious melodies, creating a perfect vibe for relaxation. Kvng Kelly shared the creative process behind the song:
“The beat itself inspired the track. As soon as I played it, the vibes just flowed naturally. It wasn’t based on a personal story—honestly, it just came out of nowhere!” he said with a laugh.
“Cool Down” has already been generating buzz across social media platforms, with fans praising its unique sound and energy. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
