Kelly Willard

Kelly Willard writes songs that feel like they come from somewhere real. Her track 'Cares Chorus' has connected with people who recognize its particular kind of empathy, the kind that doesn't shy away from difficult feelings.

She released a debut album called 'Wreckage' and followed it with another titled 'They Can't Take My World.' The work is straightforward and emotionally direct, built around her own writing and voice.

At times, the plainness of her lyrics about topics like depression has drawn some criticism, but she's kept writing in that same unadorned style. She's worked with other artists, including Sarah McLachlan and David Gra, but the songs remain distinctly hers.
