Artist: Kelly Murray

Kelly Murray writes music to find clarity within confusion, passion within pride, and purpose within pain. With more authenticity and lyrical depth than most diaries, let alone the majority of commercial pop, Kelly's songs are meant to inspire hope and fight battles beyond her own. A natural born singer/songwriter, Kelly Murray has an instinctive ability to touch the hidden parts of people's hearts.

Kelly's defining moment came during a chance meeting with an old friend, when she discovered that life's distractions and struggles had allowed music to become lost within the shadows of her heart. That night she wrote the title song for her debut EP "Let Me Fall." It flowed out like water bursting through a river dam. With shaking hands and teary eyes she realized that music was still inside of her. From that point on, inspired by the likes of Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King, Kelly's life became consumed by songwriting.

Scheduled for a release in the Fall, "Let Me Fall" is just the beginning for Kelly Murray's budding musical career which has already attracted the attention of A and R reps from several major labels including Warner, Atlantic, and Jive. Kelly is not your average cookie cutter bubblegum pop singer. There is a greater message behind her music, a message of moving forward, rediscovering your passions, and doing what is right, although it's not always the easiest thing to do.

Press Reviews:

"'Like I'm Beautiful' is the delicious style of a piano/vocal combo along the lines of Sara Barielles and Sarah McLachlan. Even though the song contains the hook-makings of a billboard hit, they are not even needed because her voice is a hook all on it's own. Her lyrics are nothing short of poetical genius, yet so easy to connect with that people of all ages and backgrounds will find themselves wanting to hear more. With an image to match her musical beauty, I will be surprised if Kelly Murray is not signed to a major label very soon." -Music Nation

"Kelly really pours her heart into her music, and then allows it flow back out when she sings. It is pure and brilliant." - Songwriter Universe (upon receiving a "top song of the month" songwriter's award)

"I think 'Porch Swing' is very well crafted, complete with its catchy 'snap your fingers' beat, sweet vocals, and great message. It's the kind of song you want to play over and over again." Ourstage.com review

"Kelly Murray's cover of "Hallelujah" sent chills down my spine. Its quite an amazing take on the "Cohen" song. Her rendition is the best I've heard yet." - Hot Spin Pursuit Contest
