Kayte Kellye & The Interruption.

This featured artist hails from New Jersey (U.S.A) and has recently made her return to the music scene after a hiatus of a couple of decades . She launched her debut E.P "Vanity Project" in January this year, receiving some great critical acclaim. Her band is composed of Musicians with a wealth of musical experience, this featured artist is ...KAYTE KELLYE & THE INTERRUPTION!

Kayte Kellye is a determined woman. Having  recently returned to the professional music scene her story started in the 80's when she was in the process of negotiating a record contract with a major punk label, however things unfortunately went South and the band she was with at the time parted ways in an experience that left a bad taste in her mouth for the music scene.

It was only a couple of years ago she came back into the fold in a new time and new generation, she realized that creating and performing music was the missing piece of her life and she got herself back in the game!

Her band is comprised of some amazing studio professionals who have played with some big named bands, so you know this is an artist not to be missed!

On the Artist herself: 
I’ve been writing music since I was 14 years old. It’s always been how I’ve processed my experiences. Over 35 years ago my all-female Punk band was almost signed to a record deal, but we were asked to "tone it down" and "act a little sexier" - among other things.

I’m tired of just being the “chick singer”...I've had it up to here with being told (I) "can't possibly put out a record at my age/size/ health status". My musical abilities have nothing to do with external appearance. How do you “watch” music?
So I empowered myself – I recorded and self-released a 3-song EP for the first time in 35 years. I've named my own label after one of my dogs, obtained copyrights by myself, and figured out how all this streaming stuff works. I'm still writing more music, and I have about another hundred songs that I'd like to record and share, but am saving up to do so since I'm not likely to get a label to support it.

In between making music in the studio and public performances she cites her personal interests as Animal Rescue, Nursing Victorian Home Restoration and a love of Good Rock N' Roll!

Kayte's musical style takes influence from some of the greats including The Who, The Ramones, Cheap Trick, The Runaways, New York Dolls, Squeeze, Led Zepplin and much, much, more...
