KELSY KARTER Interview- never felt like belonging in Aus, rebellious rock and roll phase
As a teen, Kelsy Karter would often skip school and end up in the principal’s office, choosing to listen to soul records from James Brown, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones over the latest radio hits and thrift shopping for 50s and 60s clothing over the trendy fashion of her classmates. The older she got, the more she realized that the reason she didn’t “fit in” was because she was different – an old soul with a young heart. Now describing her distinct sound as “modern soul,” Karter’s unique vision takes her fans on a journey in a time machine through the great musical acts of an earlier generation, seamlessly blending nostalgic vibes and current pop influences for a sound that’s a little bit Amy Winehouse, a little bit The Pipettes, and a lot of Kelsy Karter. She recently went viral for her Harry Styles face tattoo!
