KELLY ANN was born in Northern California. According to her parents, she was singing before she could talk. There was always music playing at home, but her greatest influence began when her family rented the movie Big Business from Blockbuster. Once she heard Bette Midler yodel, all bets were off. She became obsessed with the singing in movies like Beaches, Singing in the Rain, My Fair Lady, and Sister Act. All she wanted to do was sing. So she joined choirs starting at age 10 and began writing her own music.
In 2012, she went on tour across the country to record an original, crowdfunded EP and opened for the Marshall Tucker Band in Northern California. Her music is catchy and cheerful, reminding folks of Linda Ronstadt and Brandi Carlisle. But her voice is what everyone remembers.
“Kelly Ann's music always turns heads when it's heard as you walk in the venue. Her ability to mix great lyrics with a very unique voice is something very hard to accomplish.”
— Doug Gray of the Marshall Tucker Band
