Kadie Kelly is a pianist, composer, and interdisciplinary artist creating performances and projects that weave music, storytelling, and lived experience—both as a soloist and as a band/ensemble leader. Kadie’s work centers on creating spaces where art, music, and storytelling become tools for collective healing and creative agency.
Her artistic intention is to compose and present works that bridge classical, folk, and experimental traditions while
honoring personal and ancestral stories. She views performance as a form of witnessing, an act that transforms trauma into testimony, and isolation into shared humanity.
