She always considered herself to be a little bit of an outsider, following her own rules, living by her own design. A somewhat mischievous teenager, Kelsy would often skip school and end up in the principal’s office, and while her classmates would be afraid of going against authority, Karter was proud of being the one that did. And even enjoyed the rush of trouble. The older Kelsy got the more she realized that the reason she didn’t “fit in” was because she was different. Born in the wrong decade… an old soul with a young heart. Where most of her classmates were listening to the latest radio hits, Kelsy grew up listening to soul records from James Brown, Sam Cooke, The Beatles, The Ronettes, and The Rolling Stones. While her classmates would spend hundreds of dollars on new clothes that were considered the ‘trend’ in fashion, Kelsy would go thrift shopping to find clothes from the 50’s and 60’s for pennies. Kelsy refers to her music as “Modern Soul”, a blend of nostalgic vibes and current pop influences. Her unique vision takes her fans on a journey through a time machine through the great musical acts of an earlier generation. Her yet to be titled debut album is inspired by her real life experiences of heartbreak she’s experienced throughout her life… from having her own heart broken to breaking hearts herself.
