A B O U T 

Hey! I’m Kelli and I’m a composer. 

My favorite thing to write is music about people; their stories, their chaos, their soft moments. I studied Composition & Theory at Western Washington University, and since then I’ve released an EP (Seeing Other People, 2021), premiered works with ensembles like the Nashville Concert Band, and play with Seattle groups including the Formation Wind Band.

I love composing classical-ish music (my sound has been compared to Zelda scores, which I will happily take), and I’m always looking for ways to pair my music with electronics, visual art, or storytelling. My dream gig? Scoring for film or video games and making music that feels like it belongs in a world.

When I’m not composing, I’m probably out hiking and spotting ferns, painting or creating art, chasing down the best bourbon in Seattle, or hanging out with my cat and my partner Blake.

I’ve currently got blue hair, a sleeve of tattoos, and a lot of big ideas—so stick around and lets connect!
