Kelleigh thinks bios are a wee bit silly.
I mean, you can make somebody who’s pretty lame and can’t sing in tune sound totally amazing, or you can make someone who’s pretty amazing sound totally lame—it’s all in the spin, right?
Yes, some ridiculously stellar musicians play in my band and played on my record. Yes, the roster of collaborators for my debut album included grammy nominees and grammy winners. Yes, I wrote all the songs myself; I own my masters and my publishing. And if you really need to read a “formal” bio, you can do that here.
But, I’d rather you just listen to my music, maybe even read what other people are saying about me and decide for yourself.
Things for me have been going very slow and I've just been jamming out some new tunes and am planning on recording an EP and releasing it by September.
I just thought I shouldn't be negligent to my fans so I thought I would drop by and give a quick hello and ask you you were doing. I love you and I hope you are having a wonderful summer.
