Hailing from Mount Vernon, NY, Kelly grew up having her voice and her soul nurtured by the local church community. It was this environment along with personal influences like Stevie Wonder Lauryn Hill, and Sheryl Crow that helped Kelly shape her mentality about the role that music plays in our lives.
There is a common sentiment that modern music has progressed as a commodity but declined as an art-form. Kelly represents the resurgence of recording artists who exalt passion and innovation above profit. Kelly believes that music, an ancient and sacred form of communication, used to possess an electricity that could be felt and understood by anyone, no matter what language you spoke.
It is this electricity that possesses the body, envelops the spirit, and ultimately makes us feel alive. After years of honing her craft as a touring performance artist, Kelly*Jones is ready to reveal her masterpiece to the world.
