From California comes a fresh voice in music: KZKELLY, or Kelly Z, an artist on the rise who’s ready to shake up the industry. With roots in Hip-Hop and Alternative Rap, KZKELLY’s music thrives on creative lyricism and a sound that defies convention.
“I’m here to express myself and share my passions,” says Kelly. “For me, music is all about pushing boundaries and creating something new.”
KZKELLY isn’t about fitting into industry norms. Inspired by icons like Eminem and Amy Winehouse, Kelly’s approach to music is deeply personal and unapologetically unique. Their favorite track, Splendid Symphony, holds a special place in their heart: “It’s one of the most meaningful songs I’ve written—it’s for someone close to me.”
One of KZKELLY’s standout releases, AL Go Rhythm, captures their essence perfectly. Released on October 24th, the song, co-produced with Sonic Rocket, blends wit, rhythm, and energy into a dynamic listening experience. With lines like “I’m just a glitch in the algorithm / It’s a gift, now I own the rhythm,” Kelly showcases a playful mastery of words and beats.
The creative process behind their music is just as authentic: “I keep going until it feels right,” Kelly shares. This perfectionism paired with a laid-back vibe of fun, light, and zest fuels their unique artistry.
As for the future, KZKELLY’s dreams are big: selling out arenas and collaborating with their all-time favorite, Eminem. “Eminem’s the dream—always has been, always will be,” they admit.
Their advice to aspiring artists is as straightforward as their music: “Do you.”
