Bio

Kelby Bruno began writing music as a teenager in her hometown of Los Angeles, California. She remembers walking on the beach in Mexico just singing her heart out along the miles and miles of empty beaches and thinking that one day she would love to write songs and sing. “ I listened to my dad’s collection of Charlie Byrd and Sergio Mendes (Brazil 66’) albums when I was a little girl and sang along to them.” I also admired Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Ricky Lee Jones, and Stevie Nicks. I remember interfacing with the songs these women wote, and even as a young girl something spoke to me, something in me wanted to sing with them.

Out of high school, Kelby became very interested in the sport of windsurfing and had a deep desire to compete. After moving to Maui, Hawaii in the mid 1980’s, she soon was able to compete and earned herself a spot on the world tour. For the next ten years she traveled around the world and competed among world- class windsurfers. Her expertise became wave riding and wave jumping. After reaching the top of her sport and many trophies later, her songwriting desire started to re-surface again, and she recorded her first album “The Whisper That I Heard” in 1998. “I wrote the song “Whisper To My Spirit” while traveling on a train in Tokyo, Japan. “That first album is very special to me because it was a project that I completed all on my own; paddling my own canoe and going through all the ups and downs of trial and error.”

In the mid 90's Kelby traveled with a band throughout Eastern Europe performing from city to city playing in city centers, café’s and other venues for the summer. “It was a great summer working with a band of highly skilled musicians and singers. I was challenged beyond all that I could imagine.” “it was also a great summer to be performing in front of lots of different groups of people and audiences.”

In December of 2000, Kelby and her family moved to Australia for three years. It was a great opportunity to sing to an Australian audience and get to know other musician’s there. Her second album, “Captivated” was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, and the album is a collection about family, hopes, dreams and faith. It has a full band sound along with a country influence to it.

Kelby now lives in Redondo Beach, California with her family, and is recording her third album to be released 2008.
