About Kelly Levesque
The first time Kelly Levesque met Diane Warren, feels like yesterday. " I had just been signed to my first record deal and they brought me to the best songwriter, Diane Warren, to listen to songs. I remember being in complete shock when meeting Diane, who wrote so many of the songs that were influential in my singing life. I remember walking down the hallways of Realsongs, Diane's company, and just feeling honored to be there and so excited to meet the woman whose song melodies and lyrics were second to none.
I always knew from a young age that singing was my passion and my heart. I was blessed to grow up in a household where my parents were beyond supportive and loving. The first recording I have is me at 3 years old singing "Jingle Bells". My father owned a post production studio in NY when I was growing up, so the studio and recording became my second home. My first professional job was at the age of 7 singing a Golden Books children's album. Throughout my teen years I was hired for a lot of jingle, voice over , and theater work, but didn't pursue the record industry until I graduated high school. Thats when I met Diane....
Kelly's first release was in 2001, with the Diane Warren penned song "Some Hearts" on the motion picture "Americas Sweethearts". Kelly has also toured the world and has performed with such artists as, Russel Watson, Paul Potts, Eric Benet, Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli. She was also in the trio "Three Graces" who had a top ten classical crossover album in the US. Kelly has worked with some of the best producers in the industry such as David Foster, Desmond Child, Walter A, Guy Roche, and Trevor Horn.
Diane Warren called me about 2 years ago and asked me what I was up to. At that time I was in the group "Three Graces" and had just finished at 23 city tour and was about to perform for the Pope the following week. Diane told me about the project , Due Voci, and said I can give you 2 months to decide if you want to do it and OF COURSE I wanted to be a part of it but was under contract. Luckily and sadly, three weeks later, Three Graces came to a quick end, and I called Diane and said "I'M IN"!! My career started with Diane Warren songs and I am so thrilled to be a part of "Due Voci". In Due Voci, I get to work with the greatest female songwriter of all time and sing the greatest love songs, it doesn't get any better than that!
