About Calvin Richardson
The American R&B and soul singer-songwriter Calvin Richardson was born on December 16, 1976, and his estimated net worth is $4 million. Richardson is the son of a gospel singer and the sixth of nine children. Calvin’s mother was the leader of a gospel group named The Willing Wonders while Calvin was a young child, making him the youngest member of the group. His vocal style was influenced by the 1970s soul musicians Bobby Womack, Sam Cooke, and Donny Hathaway, all of whom he grew up listening to.
The brothers who later joined the R&B duo Jodeci, Cedric “K-Ci” and Joel “Jo-Jo” Hailey, were also childhood pals of his. (It has been alleged but not confirmed that Calvin is connected to K-Ci & JoJo.)
Born and reared in Monroe, North Carolina, is Calvin Richardson.
Following Jodeci’s commercial success, Calvin was inspired and assisted in the formation of the R&B vocal trio Undacova. The urban film New Jersey Drive’s soundtrack had a song by Undacova called “Love Slave” however the group didn’t last long and never put out an album. Later, Richardson established himself as a solo performer and signed a contract with the Uptown/Universal record company. The singles “True Love” (with Chico DeBarge) and “I’ll Take Her” were featured on his debut solo album, Country Boy, which was released in 1999. (featuring K-Ci Hailey). Calvin, however, was dropped by Universal Records due to weak sales.
Calvin eventually bounced back after being dropped by Universal and obtained another record deal, this time with Hollywood Records. His second album, 2:35 PM, was released in September 2003. The Grammy-nominated song “More Than A Woman” with Angie Stone was the only hit from the album, which bore the same name as his son Souljah’s birthdate. “You’ve Got Me High” and “Keep On Pushin’.” both featuring Slum Village, were also made available as singles from the album. Nevertheless, sales of 2:35 PM were subpar despite the popularity of “More Than A Woman,” Calvin requested and received his Hollywood Records release in 2004.
Calvin signed with Shanachie Records after being dismissed from his contract with Hollywood Records. When Love Comes, his debut Shanachie album, was released on May 27, 2008. Facts of Life, a Grammy-nominated Bobby Womack tribute album, was released in 2009, and America’s Most Wanted, a brand-new album, was released in 2010.
Richardson released the second single off his album “Hearsay” in 2015, following the release of the lead track “We Gon’ Love Tonite.” Calvin Richardson’s net worth is projected to reach $4 million as of 2023.
