Kelly grew up in London and discovered her talent for singing whilst studying economics at university. Mentored by
Anita Wardell she then went on to attend the postgraduate jazz course at the
Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Her debut
album, ''Aphrodite's Child'' received critical acclaim in the
UK and the
US. This led to her touring the UK and appearing on
BBC Television's
Jazz Britannia concert broadcast live from the Barbican in London in 2005. Her second album
Delicious Chemistry was also well received and included appearances from several well-known jazz musicians including
Courtney Pine,
Sebastian Rochford,
Roger Beaujolais and
Byron Wallen. Kelly's third album
Licorice Kiss was released in 2009. In 2015 Kelly released her fourth album "Spellbound Stories"; a set of songs inspired by her favourite novels. ==Discography==
