   About Kelly Dalton
**2009 ESPN Espy Awards-Listen for "Golden Days" played at the 2 minute mark during the memorial**



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.

~Kelly
