Biography
Kelly was born and grew up in Stratford, East London.[2] She has been interested in music since an early age and her biggest influence was the 90s R&B, particularly such artists as Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men.[3][4] She began sharing her music on YouTube in 2010 and went on to release an EP This Is Me... in early 2011, which she sponsored by raising funds on PledgeMusic.[5] The EP was promoted by the song "Letters" which was popular on YouTube and received media coverage in Poland.[6] Still in 2011, Kelly played her first live concerts, including a show at Hoxton Hall. October 2012 saw the release of her debut studio album, Come to Me, produced by her sister Natalie Erez.[7] The title song was picked by BBC Radio 1Xtra as Track of the Week and received airplay across the BBC network.[8] The music video for the song followed in January 2013. In May 2013, Erez released a double A-side single with songs "Xtra" and "Money Money" which was well received on urban radio in the UK.[9] In 2015, Kelly contributed vocals to the song "Distraction" by Cardboard Foxes.
Her second EP, Clear My Name, was self-released in September 2018, promoted by the title song.[10] In May 2021, Erez appeared on the BBC game show I Can See Your Voice.[11] Around the same time, she also released a remix EP, promoted by a new single and music video "Run the Water". Her latest single, "Time Out", was released in January 2022.
