Kelly -Ann Stargell (Lead Vocalist)
|
 |
Greetings! I am Kelly-Ann Stargell and I was born on the beautiful Island of Trinidad. I started singing at the early age of five. My mother and my music teacher realized that I had talent and put me on stage in front the whole school to sing the national anthem. Ever since, I was singing in talent shows, church and parties until I graduated high school and migrated to America. Shortly after, I became the lead vocalist and front person for Nite Flight band. My career has taken me through avenues in development from bars to funerals and different bands like Trinidad Tripoli, uprisin and now Universal Xpression where I have been one of the lead vocalists for the last four years. I love performing and I love a variety of music. I enjoy reading love novels, working out, hanging out with friends and families especially my thirteen year old niece love going to the movies, manicures and pedicures and just chilling with my girls. Peace!

Earl (Mellowman )Clark (Keys,Drums &Lead Vocalist)

Respect! Greetings from Earl "King Mellowman" Clarke. I was singing before I was talking. I played piano and drums at the age of 3 or 4 years of age. I progressed to guitar and bass a little later. I have a historic musical background. My father Cyril "Rude Bwai Clarke" is the originator of the world famous motown group "The Contours." My mother Dolores "Queen Dee" Prophet was a lead and alto singer for the world known "Lucille Lemons Gospel Choir." So next to JAH, my parents are my inspiration as well as well know singers in all forms for music such as: Peter Tosh, Yellowman, Josey Wales, Calypso Rose, The Mighty Sparrow, Lord Melody, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, to name a few.... I've played with almost every band in Detroit such as: The Samaritans, King David, La Trinity, Uprizing, The Basiks, to name a few ... but have been with Universal Xpression for 9 years. In my spare time I like to shoot hoops, shoot pool, bowl, always ready to party, spending time with my nieces and nephews, writing songs and poetry. I believe music is a medicine and healer for the mind, body, and soul. I thank JAH for the talent that he bestowed on me and hope I can pass it on to the next generation.
