Kelsey James is more than just your typical jazz singer from Melbourne. She is also the first Australian to have composed music for Sesame Street! Vocally, she specialises in traditional and popular jazz, along with gypsy swing.

Her live performances are complex, energetic, and passionate. Her compositional abilities support her live improvisation, and her original music has featured in award winning advertising campaigns and films.

Although forbidden by the strict religious laws of her childhood, Kelsey would sneak out and listen to Michael Jackson and The Beach Boys on her portable tape recorder. Thus her obsession with rhythm and harmony was born. Her mother's love of old movies and musicals gave Kelsey a strong sense of theatre and an appetite for jazz.

Today Kelsey performs in various music venues, jazz clubs, and festivals all across Australia. Both as a solo vocalist, and as part of popular Melbourne swing sextet, 'The Furbelows'. Her piano compositions for the world famous STA travel advertising campaign, 'Move, Eat, Learn', are still in high demand throughout the globe.
