- Kelvin’s management team confirmed the engagement to the paper, but the singer kept the conversation highly personal and low‑key by refusing to provide further details.
From the Stage to the Heart
Before his wedding good‑night, Kelvin’s journey had already been a crescendo of resilience and passion.

- His 2017 album, a tribute to the classic Singaporean xinyao tunes titled “The Singapore Songbook,” broke records to crowning No. 1 on both the overall iTunes chart and the Mandopop charts.
- Given the pandemic, Kelvin applied for a custom-built flat with his girlfriend. A little unexpected delay from the COVID‑19 whirlwind sprinkled extra patience into their plans.
Beyond the Spotlight
Kelvin’s talents also shine in everyday life and charitable endeavors.
- He serves as a guide in Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s “Dialogue In The Dark” exhibition, where visitors navigate everyday scenes in absolute darkness.
- He’s an avid bowl‑lifter: in 2015, he represented Singapore in goalball at the ASEAN Para Games—a game that’s all about precision, strategy, and a splash of teamwork.
While the details of his fiancée remain private, the love story of the blind singer and his beloved has already captured hearts.
