Kelvin’s professional career started in 2011 when he left the streets of Brazil for Europe where he won 3 consecutive World Cup Skateboarding events. All in all, he was named street winner of WCS rankings for 4 years. Post-WCS, he brought Damn Am to Brazil with Damn Am Brazil 2016, a series that awarded the Damn Am of the Year winner with a spot in the 2016 Street League Pro Open, providing a chance to qualify for the SLS World Tour.
In 2014, Kelvin took home the Kimberley Diamond Cup in South Africa. The following year he skated the Tampa Pro in Florida, U.S., and became the first rookie of Street League Skateboarding to win a Super Crown. He placed 1st at two Dew Tour events and won a Dew Tour best trick contest and the Dew Tour Streetstyle in Los Angeles.
In 2023, he swept the Street League Skateboarding Chicago Championship. He also has 6 X Games medals in total — 2 gold, 2 silver, and 2 bronze.
Although Kelvin now permanently resides in the U.S., he has built a skatepark in his hometown in Brazil where he held classes for unprivileged kids to help the skate community where he grew up.
