Chief Kelly is an American Experimental Artist originally from Louisville, KY and raised outside of Indianapolis, IN. He was a former member of the Rap Collective G$M, before transitioning to a Solo Artist. After the group disbanded in late 2018, Chief Kelly released his breakout single 'Sons Of Icarus' in early 2019 and has since garnered over 15 million streams across the world.
Chief Kelly’s music style is heavily influenced by 2000s Alternative Rock and Emo Trap, being inspired by artists such as Lil Peep & Bring Me The Horizon . He combines heartbroken lyrics, entrancing beats, and raw emotion to create music for people to connect with. Since migrating to a more Alt-Rock heavy style in 2022, Chief Kelly has been featured on Spotify's Editorial Playlist "Teardrop" with the release of his Melodic Hardcore hit single 'Release Me'(2023). "Art should comfort the Disturbed, and Disturb the Comforted."
Chief Kelly continues to delve into new musical genres with his latest release "Nothing Lasts Forever" and has greater ambitions to create new sounds with his Upcoming Singles. After battling Chronic Illness, he has become the embodiment of his motto "More Music, More Life" and hopes to leave a lasting impression on those who continue to support his artistic journey.
