Calvin Walker was born in Liverpool England and migrated to Australia with his family. Cal grew up on a farm in outback Queensland and since 6 or 7 years of age he wanted to be an entertainer.

Calvin Walker is a naturally gifted vocalist musician and actor. His 'Roy Orbison ' is spine tingling, his 'Elvis ' is captivating.

Cal graduated from the Lionel Long School of Drama in the 1990's and has performed in Corporate Videos and production shows. He has performed live on stage as the manipulative William Desmond Taylor in the Mack and Mabel production at the Laycock Theatre and in the Movie Grievous Bodily Harm. The list is endless, except to say Cal Walker is one of the most versatile performers around.

During his early years in the music industry Calvin and his band worked the pubs and clubs in Sydney performing his own original material plus covers from Sam Cooke to Led Zepplin.

Calvin's Musical career took him to the UK where he performed with his own band touring UK and Europe. He also played with 'The Legends' and 'Ginger Baker' from the legendary 'Cream'

In the late 1980's and the mid 1990's Cal performed musically throughout the USA.

He sang and played in 'Nashville Palace' to a standing ovation. He appeared 'by invitation only' on the 'Bakersfield Ole Opery'. Cal played with 'The Drifters', performed in 'Palimino Club' in LA and in 'Trouts' at Bakersfield with the "Tex Pistols". Each performance in Texas and Nashville was received with standing ovations.

A review dated 25 November 1994 "The Mountain Enterprise America" said:

"Among the talent was Calvin Walker from Australia (now living in Lebec). When he started singing, workers in the lobby and even security guards came running in to see who was belting out this great voice. If you didn't know better you would have sworn it was Marty Robbins".

It was also in America that Cal Walker discovered his talent for singing Roy Orbison songs and it was suggested that he do his own 'Tribute to Roy Orbison Show".

Calvin Walker returned to Australia in the late 1990's. Upon his return Cal was invited by Eddie Youngblood to perform a tribute to 'Roy Orbison' in the award winning variety show "Idolz in Concert'.

Calvin Walker was the very first 'Roy' to performed with 'Idolz in Concert' and did so to standing ovations at Twin Towns, Seals Club, South Sydney Juniors 5 times and the Catholic Club to name a few.

Calvin Walker then headed back to the US to fulfil music commitments. Upon his return he again headlined a 'Tribute to Roy Oribison', with the well know recording and performing band the 'TeeJays'.

Cal also headlined as 'Roy' in the 'The Only The Lonely Show' a Mansfield Robbins Production promoted by A-List Entertainment.
