Blind Audition Song: Signed Sealed Delivered - Stevie Wonder

About: Velvin was a Sales Manager in L.A, but now he's a singer-songwriter and stay at home dad. The first song he ever bought was 'I Need Love' by LL Cool J, and his favourite films are 'E.T', 'The Wiz' and 'The Matrix'. He's not a fan of people who are inconsiderate to others. When Velvin was a teenager he once over-permed his hair to such an extent he was left with big bald patches all over his head!
