People believe in Kristen Kelly. Candid and down to earth, with a room-filling smile and a voice that echoes the heart of what she sings, Kristen laughs as she describes her music as \u201ca little more grease than polish.\u201d And that grease is an exciting mix, distilled from her country, blues, and classic rock influences into a passionate, playful, often sexy, and always heartfelt reflection of real life as she knows it. Be on the lookout for her new single \u201cKiss By Kiss\u201d available May 2014.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI have a hard time singing or writing about something I can\u2019t relate to,\u201d she says, and that philosophy is front and center on her Arista Nashville self titled EP, co-produced by nine-time CMA Award-winning producer Tony Brown and two-time GRAMMY\u00ae-winning songwriter Paul Overstreet. \u201cPaul got the ball rolling,\u201d Kristen says. A chance meeting at a 2010 benefit concert impressed Overstreet enough to invite her to write with him, sparking a chain of events that ultimately led to her record deal. But Kristen was far from an \u201covernight\u201d discovery.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Born in Waco, Texas, Kristen Kelly grew up in the country, living on 10 acres in small-town Lorena, Texas. \u201cYou blink, you miss it,\u201d she smiles. She credits her outdoorsy, adventurous spirit in adult life to those days of \u201csimple country living.\u201d<\/div>\n
