Josh Kelley

Josh Kelley (born January 30, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter. He has released five studio albums and nine singles to date.

Biography

Born in Augusta, Georgia, Josh Kelley began his musical career at the age of 11. His younger brother, Charles Kelley, is also a musician and singer in the trio Lady Antebellum[1]. As teenagers, Josh and Charles formed a band called Inside Blue; the band released a five-song CD that garnered the attention of a major label.

Kelley attended the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi and is a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity.

Music career

He released his indie album, Changing Faces, in 2001, signing with Hollywood Records in 2002. Working with John Alagia as his producer, Kelley released For The Ride Home on June 3, 2003. He also made an appearance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2003.

Even though Kelley has stated that the lyrics from his song "Angeles" were fabricated, he moved to Los Angeles from Georgia and recorded the majority of his album, "Almost Honest," in the studio of his home.

Kelley has toured with many artists including Rod Stewart, Third Eye Blind, Toby Lightman, Counting Crows, and Ryan Cabrera.

Kelley released his third album, Just Say The Word, on iTunes on June 6, 2006, under his own label, Threshold, after asking to be released from his contract with Hollywood Records. The physical album was released in the United States on July 25, 2006. "The Pop Game" was the first single from his self-produced album and was accompanied by a cartoon video.

Kelley's next album, Special Company, was released in the United States on January 14, 2008. His label, Threshold, was renamed DNK Records so as to avoid confusion with another record label by the same name. Kelley also released a digital album that summer titled Backwoods on July 7. Later that year, Kelley released his latest album, To Remember, on September 23 exclusively through Target stores. The title track was also included on the AT&T Team USA Soundtrack.

Kelley remains a supporter of file sharing applications for independent artists who have a difficult time receiving an audience. In fact, Kelley was "found" after targeting Eric Clinger at Hollywood Records with private spam, "If you like James Taylor, Try Josh Kelley," messages using the Napster program.

Kelley has recently written a track for Leona Lewis' upcoming album, due for release later this year.
