About Kelly Sweet
No pre-fab pop confection or eager-to-please talent-show contest winner, 17-year-old singer Kelly Sweet possesses the kind of organic talent that is driven by an innate need to connect. In an age when savvy music fans are rejecting the hollow hype that accompanies the arrival of each "next big thing," Sweet relies solely on talent and passion to convey who she is and what she has to say. She is an artist who is driven to share her gifts with the world because she has no other choice--a fact that makes her extraordinarily unique among today's demographically-designed pop stars. Like such stylistically diverse artists as Norah Jones, Josh Groban and Dido, Sweet is that rare singer that combines unassailable credibility and talent with an uncanny ability to connect with a wide audience of music fans.
To spend even the briefest time with Sweet and her music, it becomes readily clear that the singer possesses an emotional and spiritual sensibility that cannot be measured in years. After all, Sweet was only 3 years old when it became apparent to her that she would be devoting her life to making music. But even at that tender age, she knew that performing was about more than getting approval and attention.
Sweet was born into a musical household (in Cape Cod, MA), with a jazz pianist father and an artist mother. Raised on the jazz standards that were part of her father’s repertoire, the singer gravitated to her Dad’s side at the piano to learn musical notes soon after she could walk. Her first public performance followed, when she was 4 years old, at the Cape Cod Conservatory. At the age of 7, following her parent’s divorce, Sweet and her mother moved to Kanab, UT. It was in this tiny Southwestern desert outpost that Sweet and her mother began to plant the seeds that would lead to the serendipitous blossoming of the singer’s professional career. Working regularly with a vocal coach, Sweet honed her skills as a performer by singing at state fairs, county festivals, and community theaters.
Sweet and her mother eventually went on the road for two years, traveling back and forth between Kanab, Las Vegas and Los Angeles in search of performance opportunities.
At 14, the singer opened for Kenny Loggins in Las Vegas. After hearing Sweet's demo CD, the Los Angeles Lakers NBA team booked Sweet to sing the national anthem on three occasions.
Sweet eventually met Grammy-nominated producer, arranger and songwriter Mark Portmann (Josh Groban, Celine Dion) in July of 2004, and the two began working together shortly thereafter.
Sweet was featured in a USA Today article in July, 2006 on up-and-coming "serious female singers."[2]
In October, 2006, Sweet released an EP from which the songs "We Are One" and "Ready For Love" have been used on episodes of two daytime dramas, the NBC TV series Passions and the ABC TV series One Life to Live, respectively. "We Are One" was also featured on the NBC series Las Vegas in the spring of 2007.
Sweet opened for Paul Simon on tour in July and October, 2006, and also appeared at the New York Mets-St. Louis Cardinals NLCS baseball playoff game on October 17, 2006, where she sang an a cappella rendition of "God Bless America."
Her debut album, entitled We Are One, was released by the Razor and Tie label on March 6, 2007.
Kelly sang the National Anthem before the San Diego Padres baseball game against the New York Mets at Petco Park in San Diego, California on Tuesday July 17, 2007.
Recently, remixes for Kelly's song "We Are One" were done by Dave Aude, Radioactive Sandwich, Matt Piso, and Electronathon.
Her cover of the Aerosmith classic Dream On was being played on adult contemporary format radio stations such as Hartford's WRCH, Manchester's WZID, and Seattle's KWJZ.
