Along with her solo ventures, Kelli-Leigh is one half of the creative team KI, along with London-based musician and DJ, Butcherd Beats (also known as Izzy B). Back in 2006 the pair independently released a début album entitled Before We Breathe, which sold well, with releases being available through iTunes and CD Baby. KI embarked on countless mini tours in Croatia for the 'Hemingway Bar' performing in Split, Zagreb, Opatjia, Riejka, Brist & Podgora, as well as many exclusive venues and festivals in the UK.Some of their tracks are also featured on various compilation albums and can be frequently heard in numerous UK high street stores as well as abroad.
Kelli-Leigh has also worked as a vocalist as part of the music entertainment outfit High on Heels, touring internationally with it. More recently, she has been providing backing vocals for Adele on her tour dates around the US and Europe.
Now focussing on her solo pathway, Kelli-Leigh describes her music as a "fusion of rock, funk and soul", with her voice & lyrics being the main focus, also adding “I hope my music can touch people like so many tracks have moved and touched me”. She cites musical influences as wide-ranging as Ella Fitzgerald to Skin of Skunk Anansie fame.
In early 2012, Kelli-Leigh came out with her début solo release, I Am Here - EP, containing six original songs.
Full-length tracks from her début are available to preview on her official website: http://www.kellileigh.com/

Kelli-Leigh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm caught between a rock
and a hard place.
It's not about what we've got.
I'ts more that I have changed.
Situations more than complicated
With or without space.
It hurst to hurt ourselves.
It seems that we change like the seasons.
I can't stay where we are.
But I wish that things could be different.
()
It ain't easy that my heart feels this way.
I try to change it but in time it feels the same.
Keep on lying to the pain in my head.
I feel I need to start again.
Ohohhhohhhohhhohoh
If I leave you you'll be fine
but I don't know about me.
I just need some time.
I try and hold it in
when I look in your eyes
but I know I'm crumbling.
(pre-)
It hurts to hurt you here.
I hate that I change like the seasons.
You can't stay where we are
But I pray that things would be different.
()
It ain't easy that my heart feels this way.
I try to change it but in time it feels the same.
Keep on lying to the pain in my head.
I feeI that we should start again.
Ohohhhhhohhhhohohhhhohoh, start again.
The lyrics of Kelli-Leigh's song "Start Again" convey the feeling of being trapped in a situation that has become complicated and changed over time. The singer is caught between a rock and a hard place, struggling with their own feelings and trying to make sense of their relationship with someone else. They are aware that they have changed, but don't know how to move forward. They feel the need to start again, to give themselves time and space to figure things out.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that it's not easy to feel this way, but the singer tries to change it, despite feeling like they're lying to themselves. They acknowledge that if they leave, the other person will be fine, but they themselves need time to heal and adjust. The pre-chorus highlights the pain of hurting oneself and others, and how people can change like the seasons, making relationships hard to maintain. Despite this, there's a plea for things to be different, a wish for a better outcome.
Overall, the song portrays a conflicted and emotional state of mind, a desire to start fresh while grappling with the reality of the situation. The lyrics express the inner turmoil of someone who is struggling to find their place in a complicated relationship, and the need to take a step back to reassess.
