Kelly McMichael, a dynamic artist and producer from St. John’s, Newfoundland, hails originally from Peterborough, Ontario. A skilled multi-instrumentalist, McMichael effortlessly blends guitar riffs, piano melodies, and beat programming. She has an extensive touring history across North America and Europe with acts like The Burning Hell, Gentleman Reg, The Hidden Cameras, and Canadian icon Sarah Harmer.
Her early songwriting was honed through DIY projects Renders and Rouge in various Ontario cities, showcasing her broad range of musical abilities. McMichael‘s music spans a wide array of production styles, fusing retro and futuristic sounds to highlight her powerful voice. Her upcoming album, “After the Sting of It“, promises a psychedelic art-pop evolution of her debut sound, set for release this fall.
McMichael‘s latest single, “Bomb“, is a fierce 90s-inspired Riot Grrrl rocker that marks a bold departure from her previous work. Available to stream and purchase today, “Bomb” is an honest and empowering anthem that transforms personal pain into a cathartic and explosive musical experience. The song channels the raw anger of being wronged into a resilient and uplifting force, characterized by the lyrics “She’s blowing and there’s nowhere for it to go“. As the most intense track on “After The Sting Of It“, “Bomb” contrasts sharply with the piano-driven 70s folk-rock vibe of her last release. This shift showcases McMichael‘s versatility and leaves listeners eager to explore the emotional journey of her sophomore album.
