Songwriter~Singer
Keeli
was born in Tawas City Michigan but her family hails from the beautiful Smoky
Mountains of Tennessee. She has traveled extensively throughout her life both
in the U.S. and abroad. She currently resides just outside of Nashville TN. Perhaps
her predominately Irish and Cherokee Indian heritage explain how she came to
posses such a unique and enchanting musical style. Her lilting voice has a
natural Celtic sound yet she offers something refreshingly new and different
from traditional Irish music. Her lyrics tell provocative tales of life.
Her life, lives that have touched her and life as she observes it. From her
perspective, every tale has a positive message. The light at the end of
the tunnel, the cloud with the silver lining and the pot of gold at the end
of every rainbow, are the rewards she claims to reap every time she creates
a new song.
"I
live it, then I write it. It's the only way I know to channel my emotions. I
don't feel as though I am writing the song but that it is written through me. I
always feel reborn after each new song."
She sings each song with the passion in which it was conceived, taking her audience on an escapade where every avenue explores a new emotion.
Keeli believes everything in life is a gift and should be cherished.
After
experiencing a healing miracle of enormous magnitude, she wrote about it in her
1st book. The book is truly an inspiration. It is titled "Lifted". Knowing
God has gifted her with many blessings, she hopes that by sharing her story
and her music, others may also be blessed. Family, friends and community
are the ties that bind and Keeli believes that their support is an essential
ingredient to her success.
Keeli
is delightfully different yet seems so familiar and comfortable.When you hear
her
you
will feel as though you have always known her. You will also
feel as though she knows you!
