Biography:  

Alessandro Kelvin is a Brazilian drummer who started playing drums at the age of 8, and fell in love with the instrument and its sound right away. On his own, he learned almost everything he knows to this day, even though he never took classes. Kelvin even practiced his instrument using improvised pieces of wood and iron, and even old furniture. At the age of 13 he met Heavy Metal and his passion for drums was directly impacted. Still unable to have a teacher, he studied alone, creating hand and double pedal exercises even without a drum kit. He played barefoot on the floor simulating the songs and thus learned many fundamentals, rhythms and grooves. He listened to bands like Queen, Rush, Helloween and Angra and studying these themes, he acquired techniques from the drummers who composed them.

Location:  Mexico

Biography:  

The Tenor Rodrigo Espinosa discovered at age of 18 his vocal talents which he decided to combine with his ability to write poetry and philosophy essays. He always was interested in the music business since his grandfather, Dario Espinosa, was an important Bass Singer at the Opera de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.

Sooner he had to choose between the Opera and Power Metal, both genres he truly and deeply love since he was a kid. Finally he decided to follow the path of Power Metal because he felt he could contribute ideologically more to the genre.

At the age of 21 he recorded his first album called New Age Innuendo by Sirius. As years passed by many local bands and musicians were asking for his work as session singer and performer. 

Then, after a lot of time searching for a band that can fill his expectations, he joined InGlorian, a Prog/Power Metal band with a compatible philosophy. A while after, he joined Fionn Legacy too: An Epic Symphonic Power Metal Band that takes his vocal possibilities to the limit. Rodrigo considers his range and timbre the very differential spots of his voice. 

Roy, as named by his friends, has sung a lot of musical genres which he always had felt made him a better Power Metal singer. His determination and discipline took him to be one of the privileged singers of the Coro de la Ciudad de México.

The next step for him was always to be part of the international Metal scene to take to every corner of the world his philosophical ideology of "Mexican Universality" as named by himself through his lyrics and his voice.
