Khari Wendell McClelland Biography
Khari Wendell McClelland is bending the edges of folk, adult contemporary and soul to create a sound all his own. Reared on gospel, hip hop, folk and soul in Hitsville, USA, the home of Motown Records, Khari began his musical education early. Every Sunday provided lessons in the roots of African American music through the wafting sounds of Gospel. The rest of the week the sounds of hip hop and soul blared from car speakers and boom boxes. When hearing his sound one is reminded of Bill Withers and contemporary artists such as Michael Kiwanuka and Leon Bridges – the richness of traditional forms interwoven with contemporary urban grit and whispers of melancholy.
