Calvin Arsenia On Dancehall-inspired Honeydew, Covering Britney Spears & More | Up Close & Personal

Kansas City-native Calvin Arsenia's ethereal, emotional music dances across genres without being tied down in any one resting place. With his 2018 debut album 'Cantaloupe' and its dancefloor-ready reimaging with the 'Honeydew' EP, the multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter is a shimmering force to be reckoned with. The Recording Academy caught up with the "Headlights" singer to learn more about the inspiration behind the two albums and what it was like bringing new life to Britney Spears' GRAMMY-winning classic "Toxic." We also find out who his biggest creative influences are, whose names range from Alexander McQueen to Frank Ocean.
