ABOUT

Kadie Kelly’s stories and music center around her life journeys, both physical and existential. From a large, diverse family in Detroit, Michigan, where she learned piano and discovered her public speaking skills as the student body president of her high school, she went on to explore living in Provo, Utah, at Brigham Young University. Later, she proselytized in French in the south of France before settling in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she finished college and raised her two sons as a divorced, single mom.

Completing her studies with a master's in Public Policy from Mills College, she founded the short-lived Oakland Single Parents’ Network and served as a guest lecturer at Touro University’s Public Health Department while always teaching piano lessons and writing music.

She invites introspection, adventure and authenticity in everything she does. A new collection of ambient piano solo music, Journey to Innocence, will be released in 2024.
