Based in Berlin but originally from the UK, AKA KELZZ is a vocal powerhouse and songwriter transcending genres. Their unique sound blends elements of Future-Soul, Neo-Soul, Alternative R’n’B, Urban Pop, Jazz, House, and Reggae, creating a vibrant auditory experience that resonates deeply with audiences.
As a queer, non-binary artist, KELZZ utilizes their music as a platform for liberation, vulnerability, and radical self-expression. They shine a light on Black and queer narratives that are often overlooked in the mainstream. Drawing inspiration from influential artists like Lianne La Havas, Little Simz, Sade, and Cleo Sol, KELZZ’s music is characterised by silky vocal layers and emotionally-charged lyrics that explore profound themes of love, identity, healing, and resistance.
Their live performances are nothing short of mesmerising—a true emotional sanctuary that invites you in, drawing the audience into a world that is at once intimate and immersive. With their debut album Odyssey released in November 2024, KELZZ embarked on a powerful sonic journey, seamlessly merging sensuality with introspective storytelling, often reflecting personal transformations.
But the journey doesn’t stop there! KELZZ is venturing further into the realms of electronic music with upcoming releases that delve into house, jungle, and drum & bass. This new direction promises to reveal a dynamic, club-driven element to their artistry while retaining their emotional core.
Since emerging from Berlin’s vibrant soul and R&B scene, KELZZ has gained significant recognition, sharing the stage with talented acts like Madison McFerrin, Pip Millet, Kaleo Sansaa, Babyjoy, and Yaya Bey. Their ability to captivate crowds and hold space for complex narratives has made them a standout artist, whether performing at monumental festivals like The Great Escape and Reeperbahn Festival 2024 or hosting intimate showcases where connection takes precedence over spectacle.
As an independent artist, AKA KELZZ is dedicated to fostering community, organizing events, and conducting workshops that uplift queer and BIPOC creatives. Their holistic approach to artistry positions them as a cultural force, reshaping the intricate relationships between music, identity, and belonging.
