With a powerful yet highly musical harmonica style, Kelvin Ng is acknowledged as the premiere blues harmonica man in Singapore. Blessed with a strong and soulful voice, he is a major blues talent in Singapore and the region. Enthusiastic about performing live, he has opened for Robben Ford and shared the stage with various international blues and roots acts such as the Holmes Brothers (US), Harry Manx (Canada) and Dom Turner (Australia).

Additionally, he has performed with local music legends like Jeremy Monteiro, Rex Goh and Siva Choy. As bandleader of Skunk Jive, he has performed in various music festivals such as SingJazz and Mosaic Music Festival, as well as in famous bars like Crazy Elephant and Blu Jaz Cafe.
