" Biography
Avant-Garde, mystical, and magical are just some of the ways her fans describe KERLI’s music. As Estonia’s most successful music export, this unique artist has defied genre and created a musical world all her own; an eclectic style, drawing on a wide range of influences such as electronic, pop, goth, and experimental.
Her debut album, "Love Is Dead", in 2008 which charted on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Walking on Air," was featured as the iTunes single of the week where it was downloaded over 500,000 times, a record at that time.
Her 2nd album Utopia also charted on Billboard 200. Singles "Army of Love", Zero Gravity", and "The Lucky Ones" entered the top 10 Billboard Hot Dance, two of them peaking at number 1. A song co-written by KERLI for Utopia, "Skyscraper" was recorded by Demi Lovato and become one of Demi’s biggest hits.
In 2016, she released 3 independent singles, while teaming up with the government of Estonia to art direct a tourism campaign designed to promote the otherworldly nature of her country.
Spending most of her creative time in the deep forests of Estonia, KERLI’s evolution as an artist has paralleled her curiosity as a human, exploring the relationship between nature, mysticism, and technology. All of which will be part of her most diverse and eclectic body of work on an upcoming album, titled ‘Shadow Works’, set to release in Feb 2019 on MrSuicideSheep's imprint Seeking Blue"
Many new worlds and characters will be revealed in 2023, starting with a dangerously cute realm of a pink robot named Joy, here to make a big colorful splash on the apocalypse-stricken planet Earth.

Blossom
Kerli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ve been waiting, ready to grow
Shivering and weathering storms
Dreaming of some other place warm
While my roots dig deeper inside
And my leaves stay bundled up tight
I felt my face get bigger than life
I learned to blossom
Finding sunlight in the grey
Knowing I will be okay
I learned to blossom
Finding sunlight in the grey
Flowing lifeline with no rain
I blossom
Winter's voice is ghostly in the wind
Whispering "this could be the end"
Why are they forgetting me not?
Can′t they see I'm hurting enough?
While my roots dig deeper inside
And my leaves stay bundled up tight
I felt my face get bigger than life
Not only did I survive...
I learned to blossom
Finding sunlight in the grey
Knowing I will be okay
I learned to blossom
Finding sunlight in the grey
Flowing lifeline with no rain
I blossom
And I would
And I would
And I Could
