Musician and Producer Kieran Kelly was born in New Orleans and raised by his musician father, Kevin, in Flint, Michigan, where the sky is gray and GM is no longer building cars.

Kevin, who had regular jam sessions at home, inviting any innocent bystander to come in and play with him and his friends, was missing a drummer, so at the age of 6, Kieran filled the spot.

It was then that Kieran fell hopelessly in love with music. He had already met her, danced with her and spent time with her, but it wasn't until then, that he decided to give his life to her forever. Music made its way into Kieran’s heart even before he could speak. And when he could speak, speaking became Kieran’s second love.

Kieran loves The Beatles, The Smiths, Chet Baker, Pontificating, Jimmy Carter, Nina Simone, Gustav Mahler, God, his wife, Mooning his Father in-Law, Sushi and Frozen Burritos, but if you knew him, you’d probably say that most of all he loves talking to people.

Kieran has lived in NYC since 1997 where he currently owns and operates The Buddy Project Recording Studio, he also co-owns Stunning Models on Display Records. Recently, Kieran has spoken in front of congress regarding web radio royalties. Music he has produced has been featured on FX, Showtime, Sundance, NPR and MTV.

He is a voting Member of the Grammy's.

Today, Kieran still loves Music, God and his wife. God and his wife still love him. Music on the other hand continues to play hard to get.
