Some of you already know me through music, but either way I thought I'd share a little bit about the beginning of my journey with you. Let me preface this by saying that I am so grateful for all of the people that have come into my life. I wouldn't be who/where I am today without you! Yes, that includes you!!I am very new to music. I picked up the guitar for the first time about two and a half years ago. Thanks to a community group lesson, YouTube videos, and friends I have learned so much! Once I learned a few chords, I began writing my own music and soon thereafter shared my music at open mics around Madison. Singing has always been a passion of mine, and in high school I had an amazing choir teacher. There have been several big changes in my life over the last few years that made me lean on music more than ever. I believe the combination of music and lyrics has the ability to fully express emotions that music or words alone cannot do. At first I wrote songs just to help me cope with life's shenanigans, but then I realized that others might benefit from me sharing my music... not to mention, I LOVE performing.
Did I tell you that I get to share the stage with amazing musicians? I have been so fortunate to meet and play with phenomenal musicians that share this love of music. (Seriously! The guys I play with in both bands are so amazing! Sometimes at practice I wonder if Anne Robinson will kick down the door, take off her glasses, and say to me with a smirk, 'You are the weakest link, goodbye!')
I still have a lot to learn (ha, don't we all!), but I hope that you will be part of this journey with me. At least once a month I'll send you an update on my music including upcoming shows and videos of new music (live performance clips and/or behind-the-scenes). If you did not recieve an email from me, be sure to sign up for my email list HERE. If you want to hear from me more often, send me an email (thekelseymilesband@gmail.com) and let me know! I'd be happy to keep you updated. If you are on social media, I regularly post on Facebook and Instagram, so be sure to like my band page on Facebook and follow me on Instagram to stay connected. Just click on the links at the top left.
Be bold. Be curious. Be you!
Kelsey
