My Interests

I'd like to meet:

From Kelly's myspace:From as far back as I can remember, I have dreamed of becoming an actress and a singer. Born and raised in rural Tennessee, my family were all quite musically gifted, though none had ever sought fame and fortune.My beloved father, Jim McGrath, was a football coach, teacher, and basically a natural at anything he pursued. A proverbial light in the room, it was his fabulous singing that served as the biggest influence in my life. His untimely passing when I was eleven was the beginning of a trail of tragic losses which, like a series of biblical trials, appeared thereafter in rapid succession challenging me to overcome pain and suffering no child should ever have to endure. However, I consistently found myself completely inspired every waking moment to channel these obstacles, and my experience in overcoming them, in song.Being virtually on my own since 11th Grade, I learned early to take care of myself and so, four years later, when I graduated from a local, private University with a degree in Broadcasting, I knew I could accomplish anything I set my mind on. A few years before, when I turned 20, I was divinely given a guitar, which I then taught myself to play. And all during my senior year in college, I found myself performing on stage just me and my guitar and it was there, like a beacon of light, I realized that I had found my true calling.So shortly after graduation, I moved myself to Memphis. I lived there for a year, writing and performing in the city’s numerous blues clubs. Feeling the need to spread my wings, I moved on to Nashville for three hard-but-enlightening years, which took me from a hard working amateur to a hungry professional.Though Nashville is one of the music capitals of the world, I once again found my ambitions yearning for broader and more varied opportunities. So I held another garage sale and headed west to the City of the Angels. Now, almost two years later, I’m still reaching for my higher self, and along the way, I try to be a proverbial light shining through a window of peace and love to all... especially the many other talented people out there on similar journeys.
