Positivity with hints of romance is the specialty Kovan Baldwin serves up. And after an eight-year hiatus, you can be sure hot new sounds will be the special tonight. The Minneapolis, MN local fuses R&B, soul, and pop to create sweet and soothing tracks that go down like honey. Dubbed as the New Twin Cities Sound, Kovan finds influence in legends like Mint Condition, Alexander O'Neal, and, most importantly, Prince.

He pens all the distinctive qualities of life, the addictive passion of love, and the arduous ascend of growth, always including the optimistic side of each. His stardom, stage presence (such as at The Lounge Night Club and the annual Juneteenth Celebration), and lyricality caught the attention and praise of Interscope Records and Island Def Jam Records. Eight years have passed, and a lot of artistic creativity has been brewing in Kovan's mind, ready to give people a taste. Kovan Baldwin was recently awarded two prestigious Akademia Awards for the 2020 Best R&B Soul Artist of the Year and the 2021 Rising Star Award.
