Hello to all of my wonderful Stars On The Rise fans. It is
time to pick another wonderful “Artist Of The Week” This weeks artist is a
young female who has a soulful blues quality to her vocal tone. This very
soulful songbird goes by the name Bridget Kelly. Bridget Kelly was born April
8, 1986 in New York City! It appears
that music was apart of Bridget’s life plans because she was a graduate from Fiorello
H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in Manhattan. In 2009 she was signed to Roc Nation. This was just the being of Bridget music
career. Bridget has regularly filled in for Alicia Keys when performing the song Empire State of Mind
with Jay-Z. Kelly also performed with Jay Z during a
performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2009. She
performed at Coachella Arts & Festival with Jay-Z during Empire State of
Mind, as well as Bonnaroo Music Festival in summer 2010. Kelly also performed
Empire State of Mind with Jay-Z on Saturday Night Live on May 8, 2010. Bridget made
her first magazine cover appearance in the September 2010 issue of Honey Magazine. In the interview to go along with the cover shoot, she describes her
music as a fusion of R&B, soul and rock with influences coming from Alicia
Keys, Alanis Morissette and Pink. In late July, Roc Nation stated on the
official site that Kelly is closing her album up and the first single will be
the Frank
Ocean-penned "Thinking About Forever". An
acoustic video of her debut single "Thinking About Forever." was
released in August 2011. What got my attention about Bridget Kelly was her song
called “Street Dreamin” featuring Kendrick Lamar. What I love about her is her soulful upbeat
style. I think she has the talent and ability to sing just about anything. I
also hear the same kind of blues quality that is similar to Amy Winehouse. So
take a listen and tell me what you think. Remember you can follow me on Twitter
