Bio
Multifaceted singer-songwriter Kelly is as much at home with a rock tune as with a country ballad. A native of Jackson, MS, Kelly lived in Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Canada, Madagascar, & all over the USA. Exposure to music & culture from around the world, & her strong southern roots support an adventurous approach to writing songs in diverse genres. She creates a pleasing pop hook as easily as a breezy waltz or a sophisticated gospel song.
Kelly uses her rich voice to evoke love, loss, & renewal. Her work conveys a kind of pragmatic optimism - joy of love & the price paid while reaching for happiness. The foot-tapping "Jamaica" captures everyone's desire to escape to a tropical island. "Ten Miles Outside Of Jackson" reflects on the death of a close friend. Sexy, jazzy "I Have Been Looking For You" has enjoyed the number one spot at www.broadjam.com Earth, Pop, and Pop Easy Listening Top Tens. Kelly has recently collaborated with fellow Broadjammer, Earl C. Webb, on the tune, "You Don't Know How Much I Want To Believe".
