Biography

Kelly was born and grew up in Stratford, East London.[1] She began sharing her music on YouTube in 2010 and went on to sponsor the release of her first record by raising funds on PledgeMusic.[2] Her debut EP, called This Is Me..., was released in early 2011 and received flattering reviews. The song "Come to Me" was picked by BBC Radio 1Xtra as 'Track of the Week' and received airplay across the BBC network.[3] The EP was promoted by the release of the single and music video "Letters", which was met with warm reception and received media coverage also in Poland.[4] Still in 2011, Kelly played her first live concerts, including a show at Hoxton Hall.

October 2012 saw the release of her debut studio album, Come to Me, produced by her sister Natalie Erez.[5] The music video for the title song followed in January 2013.
