Kellee moved to Pittsburgh in her late teens with the dream of changing the world. She learned more about the negative sides of our society through study at the University of Pittsburgh and Hip Hop was solidified as her passion and outlet for activism. She also experienced watching her mother go through a near death bout with cancer and used writing as a means to cope. She began performing in 2000 and has not stopped since. However, a sense of not being able to make any real change, a lack of confidence, and need for financial security pushed her into the workforce and on the spiritual journey, which proved to be a unique opportunity to learn about what would became her inspiration as an artist.
Kellee worked in events and promotions at the Pittsburgh City Paper right after college. After her father passed away Kellee again turned to music as a way to cope. Soon after the tragedy, she started her own female owned and operated, socially conscious company, Nakturnal, in hopes of securing a better income to help her mother in the future and allow for growth in her music career. For over two years now, Nakturnal has been considered the leading guerilla marketing and events organization in the region, that works daily for independent artists, worthy causes and is expanding nationally. While Nakturnal was growing, Kellee found more time to record and perform, and released her first album, Age of Feminine. She is currently working on her second release which highlights her mystical side. She is also launching a website that will act as an artistic statement with the help of a huge female team made up of Nakturnal and other talented Pittsburgh based women.
A deeply spiritual person striving to enjoy and appreciate the present, Kellee now sees activism on a energetic level that starts within. She studies the power of intention, meditation, quantum physics, astrology, tarot and other forms of mysticism. She feels her purpose in life is to make music that sends out good energy and makes people think. She believes massive global change is coming and that it starts with the individual. She asserts that our inner world is a mirror of our outer reality and that we have the power to help positively affect the world by "being the change we wish to see", as Ghandi puts it. She believes we are entering a new stage of evolution in human consciousness and hopes that her music inspires change and awareness in the listener. She believes music and art hold the key to the revolution we need and that we can enjoy this moment while opening hearts and minds.

Kellee Maize Lyrics

It don't matter if ur black red latino or asian
Man, woman, Jamaican or Haitian
Rich, poor, yellow, brown or Caucasian
Join the movement, make a change, every single nation
[Verse:]
Its about where ur goin and what did you learn
Everybodies got a hell they can feel it burn
It is all in ur mind baby don't let the table turn
Cause what you put out it comes right back
Reapin whatcha sow you shoot expect the click clack
You steer um wrong you bout to go off track
You generous believe ull watch the green stack
Like the gods say get the money teach the kids
And if you do it righteously then their soul will give
Police whilin terrorism aint just oversees
It’s in the streets and fast food joints and on tv
Tides change, 11th hour, out the truck
March with your fellow man take a stand, times up
The war is every where we justa bout outta luck
Indigo babies are here its time stand up
[Chorus x2]
It don't matter is ur black red latino or asian
Man woman Jamaican or Haitian
Rich poor yellow brown or Caucasian
Join the movement, make a change, every single nation
[Verse 2:]
We are killing mother earth she is crying
Can you feel the temperature rise she is dying
Government watching every move yeah they be spying
Sometime it feels like it ain’t even worth trying
But Ill be stealin from the rich and giving to the poor
I am done with all this bullshit I can’t take it no more
Hunger everywhere do you know the death toll
Watchin the news with half the story and I'm feelin swole
The ying and yang imbalance it has been the way
Women have been put up in their place each and everyday
White boys in power fucked up in each and every way
I love the penis but damn their’s points the wrong way
Strait to their head testosterone led us astray
We gotta let feminine return here what I say
Men listen close give us a chance no delay
We aint no rib bone see we is gonna save the day.
[Chorus x2]
It don't matter if ur black red latino or asian
Man, woman, Jamaican or Haitian
Rich, poor, yellow, brown or Caucasian
Join the movement, make a change, every single nation
Wake the fuck up whatchu doin
Are you makin a change watchu pursuing
Don't you realize all the violence brewin
Reflects all of the negativity in that booin
All the hatin gotta stop love ur brother
Perpetratin every drop respect ur mother
Why you waiting teach one another
You can fly high there is no need to hover
[Chorus x2]
It don't matter if ur black red latino or asian
Man, woman, Jamaican or Haitian
Rich, poor, yellow, brown or Caucasian
Join the movement, make a change, every single nation
