  以下是介紹

  Born in Moline, Illinois near Chicago, twin brothers Kelvis and Kendall
Duffie are the youngest of six children born to the late Maydean Brown.
Raised in a single parent home by their church musician mother, they began
singing in church at the age of four.

  By the time they were 14, their natural talents were garnering attention,
both in and out of church. The late Jerry Weaver, former lead guitarist for
Aretha Franklin and producer for such names as Janet Jackson (debut album
1982,) and New Edition, took a strong interest in them and formed a Gospel
group called Meekness.

  After years of performing in and around the Gospel circuit, these aspiring
young artists had already performed with industry legends Commissioned and
Take 6; the group even recorded vocals on Bebe and Cece Winans “Relationships
” album, but disbanded in the mid 90’s after minor success.

  The knowledge and experience they garnered during this phase allowed them to
prepare for bigger and better things. With music as the driving passion,
Kendall embarked on a journey to find a creative outlet and headed for London
where he lived for nearly two years.

  It was there he met producer Ray Hayden who produced the first solo project
for Maysa, who introduced him to Incognito front man “Bluey”, who would
later contribute to the debut project.

  Walking two to three hours each way on the streets of London for short
meetings with various record labels, Kendall finally caught the attention of
industry veteran Ralph Tee’s label Expansion Records.

  “When passion and destiny cross, success is inevitable” states Kendall “
there were days I didn’t have enough money to eat and travel on the subway
so I would walk everywhere. I was so focused and determined that I didn’t
even realize how far I was actually walking everyday”!

  It finally all paid off. In 1999 Expansion released the compilation “Soul
Stepp’n” which included the duo’s first release entitled “Make You Mine”
 featuring Kirk Whalum. The song was one of the labels most sought after
records in 1999. The momentum and buzz led to a record deal with Expansion
and an opportunity for the guys to record a full CD.

  Two years later, their debut CD “On Kloud 9” released and took the UK soul
fraternity by storm. The album remained on top of the UK soul charts for the
majority of 2002.

  Kendall / Kelvis <Kloud 9>Currently based in Nashville, Tenn., Kendall and
Kelvis both enjoy careers as prominent executives in the Gospel music
industry as well as budding stars in the smooth R&B and soul world.

  Kelvis “Clyde” Duffie holds the title National Director of Radio Promotions
for the number one label in the genre, Verity Records where he promotes some
of the industry’s biggest names including Donnie McClurkin and Fred Hammond.

  Kendall is head of A&R for Light Records and develops records for all the
acts on the label including Shirley Caesar, Rizen and Bishop Paul S. Morton.

  Recently the guys launched their own recording studio called The Vibe Room
where they’ve just completed recording Kloud 9’s highly anticipated
sophomore release ” Yearning To Love”.

  The album is set to release on Expansion Records / D3 Entertainment in 2005
and will feature brand new songs of love and encouragement aimed at keeping
you forever “On Kloud 9” and “Yearning To Love"

這網頁上的interview算是我聽過相當清楚的，
Kelvis講的話很容易懂，適合拿來做英聽練習，
做訪問的荷蘭人口音有點…嗯，不習慣。

kweli大記得第一張On Kloud 9要找的是美版，
比歐版多兩首歌"Everything about This Love", "Ready, Willing, Wanting"。

其他看到關於Kloud 9…
團名的由來：
"the idea behind that was I wanted to make music that would make people feel
like they were experiencing ultimate listening pleasure.. so I thought what
better than Kloud 9.. I used the K intstead of C because both our names start
with K and also do be a little different" (Kendall語)

"Promise"這首是為911寫的(和Incognito的Bluey合作) http://0rz.net/9b1iw

"Never Knew"在英國有舞廳在放(可我怎麼覺得好像跳不大起來) http://0rz.net/081jQ
