[edit] Biography
Kelly started her music career in 1992 as a member of the dance act N-Trance, lending her vocals to "Set You Free" which originally was not a success. Following several re-releases, the song stormed the UK charts in January 1995.
That same year, Kelly launched her solo career with the song "Brighter Day" which was just shy of reaching the UK top 40. In 1997, she returned to N-Trance for their cover version of the Rod Stewart hit "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy"[citation needed] which stormed the UK top 10. She would continue to sing on their hits which included "The Mind Of The Machine", "Tears In The Rain" and a cover of the the Jackson 5 hit "Shake Ya Body".
In 2001, she appeared on Flip 'N' Fill's "True Love Never Dies"[citation needed] which when re-released in 2002, became a top 10 hit. In 2002, she released a solo album, called All Clubbed Up, which featured her most well-known work including a cover version of Taylor Dayne's "Tell It To My Heart"[citation needed], which went top 10 in October 2002, as well as a new version of "Heart of Gold"[citation needed], a song she originally recorded with Force & Styles back in 1998.
In the early 2000's, she also enjoyed two other UK Top 10 hits with N-Trance with another re-release of "Set You Free" and the track "Forever". She released one more single with N-Trance in 2003, "Destiny", but it was not a big hit.
In 2004, Kelly reached the UK top 15 with a cover version of Donna Summer's hit "This Time I Know It's For Real"[citation needed]
Between 2004 and 2006 Kelly made guest appearances on EMAP's Big City Network and 97.7 Chiltern FM.
Kelly is also left-handed as you can see her writing her signature in the N-Trance video Set You Free.
Kelly's cover of Lara Fabian's 'I Will Love Again'[citation needed] didn't do as well as her previous efforts making #105 on the Official UK Singles Chart, 1110 copies sold/downloaded in its first week.
In 2008, she once again rejoined Kevin O'Toole and Mike Lewis of N-Trance to vocal a track called "You're My Angel". It would also appear that she is working on some new solo material as highlighted by the audio samples on her MySpace page.
