About
Kelli Frances Corrado (She/Her) is an experimental singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist exploring the healing power of sound. She writes, performs, teaches, and wanders. Growing up, she would sneak into DIY shows in Chicago while learning ritual prayers from her Czech grandmother. That blend of earth and ether, grit and grace, lives in the music she makes. Originally starting on guitar duty with ambient noisters Arkade, Kelli’s work developed into a fully formed solo vision. Now using her background in operatic voice training, string arranging, and poetry to create and record in weird and wonderful places: an 18th-century church, a seaplane port, tunnels with a 17-second natural delay, and a field of swans.
Focusing on community, Kelli is deeply committed to amplifying the voices of female-identifying folks through projects, events, and music lessons, where diverse creative expressions can thrive. She is a member of the Female Pressure network and has contributed to compilations, Women of Noise for Palestine, and #ShoutYourAbortion. In 2024, she was commissioned by the femme dance troupe Sirens of Serpentine to create an original score.
Kelli has been featured in The Wire, Bandcamp Daily, and NPR. She has received grants from the Grammy Foundation, the Rauschenberg Foundation, and the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture. Releasing music with labels: Grimalkin, Enmossed, Aphonia Recordings, Flat Field Records, Lithic, and Death Pillar. She also co-created a meditation series with Melissa Gonzales and Lena Gray, called Astral Well. And in the spring 2026, she was invited by the Woodbine Chamber to undertake a residency in Louisville, Kentucky, co-supported by The Puffin Foundation, Ltd.
