Lyttle star of Calypso in Doha live concert

On his Middle East tour, the sensational music producer and Vincentian soca artist Kevin Lyttle is in town for live performances. The musician will be performing at Intercontinental Doha, The City today. Kevin Lyttle, born Lescott Kevin Lyttle Coombs, achieved worldwide fame with his hit Turn Me On in 2004 which was recorded with the dancehall artist Spragga Benz. Turn Me On, Kevin Lyttle’s first single, reached multi-platinum level, landing on Billboard charts, and is still played on the radio, performed in concerts, at music festivals and in nightclubs globally. Since then, he has been touring a lot, engaging more fans, and producing with household music names at his studio and home in Miami, Florida. Feel So Good was released for purchase on all digital platforms and hard copy in Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and Amazon, in September and was collaborated with Grammy award-winner, Shaggy. Both the music video and single were recorded with the inspiration of summer, sun and vibes from one of the most visited places in the world, South Beach in Miami. After his mass success, Lyttle decided to grab the reigns, and launched his own record label, Tarakon Records. Between Turn Me On and now, several master collaborations were produced, and one of them resulted with multi-platinum and Grammy Nominee, Flo Rida, as the hot single Anywhere which gained attention from many European labels.Anywhere has recently been picked up by What About Love, a film starring Sharon Stone and Andy Garcia. This stimulating club song will be in two scenes, as well as on the sound track to the movie. There’s a reason why they call Lyttle the ‘feel-good’ man. His eclectic tracks can’t help but to make listeners feel warm as he brings with him the island life with a touch of Soca (Calypso music with elements of soul) to the dance floor.Lyttle broke through the mould back in traditional releasing of music and breaking into the industry with his hit single Turn Me On, which topped charts around the world – the U K, Germany, Italy France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Australia, and on to the United States.After earning spots on MTV, Billboard’s Hot 100, and even signing a deal with Atlantic Records, his album went multi-platinum, selling over 2mn copies in the beginning. He went on to have two more songs, Drive Me Crazy and Home for Carnival, that hit number one on the charts for two consecutive years. Lyttle was, by all definitions of the term, a rising star.The government of St Vincent and the Grenadines appointed Kevin Lyttle the prestigious title of Cultural Ambassador to St Vincent, where he calls his first home. Using all of his momentous success, Lyttle decided to give back and founded a non-profit named the Janice Lyttle Foundation in the fight against heart disease, to which his late mother had fallen victim, as well as recently raised $500,000 in medical supplies to St Vincent.Lyttle was encouraged by his family to pursue music at the young age and has been performing at local events in his teens. Prior to his musical career, Lyttle had subsisted on day jobs, such as customs officer and radio disc jockey.He recorded Turn Me On as a soca ballad in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in 2001 and the song subsequently became a minor hit throughout the Caribbean.Lyttle signed with Atlantic Records in 2003 and a remixed version of Turn Me On was officially released as a single in the UK at the end of the year, with dancehall artist Spragga Benz’s guest vocals. The song reached number two in the UK, spending seven weeks in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart.
