Artist Profile: Kelsey Wild
Guest Blogger Sharyn Goldyn schools us on the precocious Kelsey Wild.
Somebody somewhere must know who Kelsey Wild is, considering
she gets at least 600 myspace plays a day, but I can’t figure out who. There
isn’t much about her online, and when I attended her one local show a
few months ago at a tiny piano bar in a hipster neighborhood in , there were five
people in the room - - that’s counting
myself and two of my friends. Maybe this is because she isn’t old enough
to drink. Who knows?
Pretty disappointing considering what an amazing show it was. So who is she? She’s this ridiculously cute seventeen year old girl with an astounding voice, impeccable piano skills, and the cutest stage demeanor. I’m convinced this girl is a major label’s wet dream. Her songs are mature and well-written and her voice rocks you into deep thought.
Listen to “Meaningless” and remind yourself that this girl isn’t even old enough to buy a pack of smokes.

I've never met Kelsey, but I host her picture and hyperlink on MySpace. I learned of her from her mother who is one of my work associates, and one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She talks about Kelsey's aspirations and how she is such a great student and hard worker, and after hearing her recordings, I was blown away by the depth and talent of this lovely young lady. Even my son has a little crush on her! Good luck to you Kelsey in all that you do! You make people that haven't even met you proud of you for your triumphs!!!
