About
Kelly Lee Owens

Few artists are as adept at fusing electronic music’s warmth and coldness as Kelly Lee Owens. What makes Owens’ work so distinctive is her equal proficiency as a songwriter and producer; her vocals are as confident and captivating as her beats – a quality encapsulated across all of her records and driven home in popular bangers ‘Jeanette’ and ‘Melt!’. Born and raised in Wales, Owens moved to London in her twenties and worked at landmark record stores Rough Trade, Sister Ray and Pure Groove. The latter haunt is where she met fellow auteurs Daniel Avery and James Greenwood, together they made Drone Logic which propelled Owens into the world of techno.

Owens' immersive and emotive sound has amassed a myriad of tastemaker fans, leading her to collaborate with artists such as St Vincent, Bjork, John Cale, Jon Hopkins and Jenny Hval. Owens’ live performances are enigmatic and bewildering, having played all over the world with Inner Song. This summer is no exception, as she heads off on a global whistle-stop festival run.
