Australian
born
Singer/Comedienne/Dancer/Actress and
Writer Kelly O’Brien has been
entertaining professionally for over
15 years. Kelly first began
singing Country at the age of 14.
Two years later she was crowned ‘South
Australian Country Vocalist of the
Year’ and ‘Best New Talent’
at the famous pan-Australian
Gympie Muster country festival-
securing Kelly her first recording
contract. This led to endless
exposure- as one of Australia’s
youngest Country singers
Kelly’s first
national television appearance was
on the talent show New Faces.
Regular TV performances then
included spots on Good Morning
Australia, Carols in the
Domain, Cartoon Network,
Living with Style and Home
and Away.
Kelly’s biggest break however came
when she made it to the final 12 in
POPSTARS 2 on
Australian national TV. In February 2002,
Kelly was offered a lead role in
Andrew Lloyd Webbers hit musical
Starlight Express, in
Germany. This consequently led to a
record contract with Zyx music and
the release of the hit single
‘Crucified’. Other theatre credits
have included ensemble roles in
The Hunchback of Notre Dame and
Tonight’s the night.
Since arriving in London three years
ago, Kelly has worked extensively as
a freelance singer, as well as
having numerous Television spots on
shows such as Gok Wan’s- How to
Look Good Naked, Miss Naked Beauty
and the X-factor 5-
performing with Diana Vickers. TV
advertisements include featured
roles for Nestlé, British Airways
and 7-UP (directed by
X-men’s Bryan Singer).
Country music however
is where Kelly’s passion lies and
since winning first place in
prestigious Sydney Talent Quest in
2000- as a Dolly Parton
impersonator- Kelly has been
performing as ‘Dolly’ ever since.
“She’s exactly like
Dolly… And her voice- it’s just
AMAZING!”
As a professional
entertainer and comedienne this
comes as no surprise.
