Kes The Band

Kes the band’s unique blend of soulful vocals and calypso-inspired melodies, over a fusion of rock riffs and island beats, hints of soca and reggae, but can best be described as Caribbean Pop. This style has elevated Kes to stardom, allowing the band to become a household name in Trinidad & Tobago and throughout the Caribbean circuit, where they consistently win over audiences with their electric and high-energy performances!

Since their inception in 2005, Kes (the band) comprised of brothers Kees (lead singer), Hans (drums), Jon (lead guitar), and best friend Riad Boochoon (bass), along with the support of a DJ (Richard Balgobin), and versatile keyboardists (Keithson Cruickshank and Mario Callendar), have managed to achieve significant success on a worldwide scale in a relatively short period of time. For starters, the band has released several albums to date, (Three Baldheads & a Dread, Lion and On in Five), with more than a dozen tracks making it into the top 10 of major Caribbean charts. Additionally, the band has won numerous awards for songwriting; toured globally, performed at major festivals and events in the United States and Germany; opened for acts such as Sean Paul, Musiq Soul Child, Usher, John Legend, and Rihanna; and had their music featured on television shows broadcast on MTV and BET, as well as licensed tracks to popular games on major video game platforms.

This band continues to build their fan base globally, routinely selling out shows throughout the Caribbean, Canada, and parts of the US. With intentions to release a string of music videos in the near future, an upcoming North American and European tour, and collaborations with major artists; Kes is definitely on the verge of achieving their dreams and becoming an international sensation!
