Kelly Paige

Fighting against the pop-star stereotype, 22 year-old Kelly Paige delivers a level of soul, sass, and substance rarely seen in today’s pop music. Her lyrics burst with confidence as they melodically swoon over guitar-driven pop hooks, revealing her independent spirit and distinctive songwriting talents. Born to South African immigrants, Kelly’s childhood consisted of countless moves from state to state, eventually settling in Bucyrus, KS with her mother and step-father. During her travels, Kelly was able to soak in a variety of genres and musicians including Loretta Lynn, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, Amy Winehous, Sheryl Crow, and Jason Mraz all influencing Kelly’s unique style of empowering pop. For Kelly’s upcoming album, she decided to live in London and draft the talents of Ben Mason (Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Razorlight) and Glen Nicholls (Snow Patrol, I Blame Coco, Everything Everything) to produce her debut single, Hurt Like Me. “London has been great with me musically. It got me out of my comfort zone and into experimenting with different genres. It’s given me a chance to create my own sound.” Currently, she continues to work in the studio recording her debut full length album which is sure to include sharp yet sweet songs with an apparent tone of self-reliance, proving that true musicianship and artistry still has a place in pop-music.
