Keeli

Keeli was born in Tawas city Michigan but her family hails from the beautiful Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. She has traveled extensively throughout her life, both in the U.S. and abroad, and currently resides in North Carolina. Perhaps her predominately Irish and Cherokee Indian heritage explain how she came to posses such a unique and enchanting musical style. Her lifting 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 the 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 always feel reborn after writing a song." As a child, Keeli watched her mother perform and direct many stage productions. She fell in love with the theater. It must be in her blood. She has taken her love for the theater and incorporated it into her performances as a singer/songwriter. 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. Every song is a new scene in a one woman play. 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! ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ....... .I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .
