Kenneth Octavio serves as the versatile vocalist of Class5, complementing Shalomitha's lead vocals with his smooth, rich tones and impeccable harmonies. His voice adds depth and texture to the band's sound, creating the lush vocal landscapes that have become a Class5 signature.
Kenneth's musical journey began in church choirs, where he developed his foundation in harmony and group singing. This early experience gave him an intuitive understanding of how voices blend together, a skill that proves invaluable in the complex arrangements Class5 performs. His transition to jazz was natural, drawn by the genre's emphasis on expression and collaboration.
What makes Kenneth exceptional is his adaptability. He can shift seamlessly from backup harmonies to lead vocals, from tender ballads to upbeat swingers, all while maintaining perfect pitch and emotional authenticity. His vocal improvisation during performances adds spontaneous moments of brilliance that keep every show fresh and exciting.
