My name is Kelly Dalton & I’m a Singer Songwriter from Southern California, Ca. This time around, rather than finding someone else to write my bio, here’s a little about me written by me. After all, who knows me better?
I was a big baby (11.5 lbs.) born in Hollywood, California at Cedars of Lebanon, to my musician parents Daniel Dalton & Lois Fletcher. Cedars of Lebanon has since been renovated and is now the Mecca of Scientology....yes, I am serious.
Throughout our childhoods, music was constantly heard throughout the house - performed, written and recorded in the presence of my brothers, sisters and I. I was always playing around on the piano and guitar trying to learn from what I'd just heard. I once tried to sing, but I was too shy, didn’t like my voice and vowed never to sing in front of people.
In Junior High, I started playing guitar, piano and writing songs. I played in bands for the next several years. I performed live all over town, toured some and recorded a few albums through 2005.
Unfortunately, in a short amount of time I lost a few people who were very close to me.
I took a deep breath and thought about my own life.
I started writing a lot of songs, except this time, I was going to sing them. Songs from the heart. I traded in the heavy amps & loud guitars for an acoustic guitar and an old upright piano. It was time to get over my stage fright.
Soon I was playing every open mic in Los Angeles I could find. After a month or so, bar and club owners asked to book me, so I assembled a band and started singing and playing my own music.
I found my home at a little known singer songwriter venue called "The Hotel Cafe" where I played a few times a month, built a loyal following and befriended many other musicians who also felt at home there.
One afternoon, with Producer Jon Ingoldsby. I recorded a live version of the first song I wrote for myself, called “Worth It All”. I posted it free online and received thousands of downloads, comments and inspiration to continue.
With the support of producers Thom Flowers & Emile Millar, I recorded my first album with some great local musicians (members of Ryan Adams, Aimee Mann, Dwight Yoakum). I independently released my debut album “The Love In Every Bar”.
Without any promotion or press, I received some national exposure and had over 100 reviews in European magazines and music websites. I also had a couple songs hit college radio, Pandora online radio & started popping up on some international folk charts. I was placed on the soundtrack for best selling author James Patterson’s Maximum Ride trilogy & a few compilation albums.
I toured on a regular basis and continued to play The Hotel Café a lot.
RECENT NEWS-FALL 2009
Last year I recorded a 6 song acoustic EP titled “Home” with Producer Thom Flowers up in Santa Barbara, Ca. Some of my live band buddies Cisco Deluna (dobro, accordion) & Ben Pringle (organs, harmonies) came in to play and added their magic. Also, my friend and fellow singer/songwriter Holly Brook completed it by adding her beautiful voice on a few tracks.
In 2009, I co-wrote & remixed a song for Katy Perry’s upcoming album and also co-produced/co-wrote the new Eyes Set To Kill album "The World Outside" which peaked at 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
In the summer of 2009, ESPN’s annual televised ESPY Awards opened the show with a montage featuring some of my music along w/ U2 & Coldplay. My song “Golden Days” played for over a minute as images of sports figures who had passed away were honored.
I recently spent several days working on a video for my song, "Let Me In" & I’m currently in production on a new full-length album slated for an early 2010 release.
Feel free to email me or say hello wherever I may be playing and always remember - never be afraid to stop…..and take your own deep breath.
Thanks for adding me.as your friend love your music sound grant so keep up the grate work Hope you are having a great week! keep in touch and god bless
