Calvin Carrington

Singer/Songwriter/Musician, Calvin Carrington, has many attributes that sets him apart from so many others in the music industry today. His unique tenor voice, which displays impeccable range, control, and a distinct and crystal clear tone quality can be heard on his new debut CD entitled, "Can U Handle It?" He has truly developed a style of his own. After listening to Calvin's voice you might be convinced that he has had extensive training. However, this is not the case. Calvin has had a natural ear and talent for music since he was 3 yrs. old. His extensive Gospel, and Rhythm & Blues influences can definitely be heard through the passion and emotion of his music. He didn't develop his vocal abilities and self-taught piano kills overnight. Starting at about the age of 8, he would sing for hours in his room after school. While attending high school, he saved up enough money to buy a used keyboard from a local pawn shop. Calvin was determined to teach himself how to play. His hard work paid off when he began winning local talent contests, and striking up leading roles in school plays. He won the Best Male Vocalist Award of his senior class of 385 students. That was more than enough ammunition for Calvin to go and pursue a music career. He is currently finishing his degree at Indiana University, where he is well-known for his energetic stage presence and crooning falsetto notes in IU Soul Revue (premier R&B/Soul Band on campus.) When he's not studying, you could find Calvin recording in the studio or performing at various open-mics around campus. Calvin's main focus is developing a strong fan base and establishing himself as an artist. Calvin quotes, "I may not please everyone with my music, but I know there is definielty an audience out there somewhere just waiting to hear me!
