Twin brothers Kelvis and Kendall Duffie formed Kloud 9 in the tradition of such artists as The Isley Brothers, The Whispers and Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly, all of whom the group would go on to appear with on tour. Growing up in a single-parent home in Denver, CO where their mother was a church musician, Kendall and Kelvis started singing in church at an early age. By the age of fourteen they captured the attention of producer Jerry Weaver (former guitarist with Aretha Franklin and producer of Janet Jackson's debut album). With Weaver, Kendall and Kelvis laid the foundation for a music career and began learning the ins and outs of the music business. Kloud 9 has been recently been placed in three categories on the Grammy ballot.
