Indie Pop from Kelaska

Connecticut-based singer-songwriter, Kelaska, born as Kelli Wright began her music career by uploading covers onto her YouTube channel. This included her instruments being guitar, piano and other instruments she wanted to add into her muse. She gained over 30,000 subscribers on her YouTube from her covers and is now creating her own music. She also gained recognition from People Magazine as one of the “Ten Cover Song Pros You Should Be Following on Instagram”.

Kelaska’s genre is indie pop where she enjoys KT Tunstall, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Killers. But grew up with her love for 60s and 70s also, falling asleep to The Beatles and filling up her music collection with Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac and Queen. I can hear a resemblance in Kelaska’s voice in “Long Way Home” and KT Tunstall’s music with the tones and similarity in their singing voices. Over the next few years after and during covering music, Kelaska released her first three singles, whilst attending Berklee School of Music.

It is said that the meaning behind “Long Way Home” is “The idea for this song came from the many nights I spent waiting in my car to avoid running into my ex on the way home. Usually it wouldn’t matter and I’d still see them, ruining my whole night. I think this song can relate to seeing anyone from your past that you want to forget about.” The music video and song was released last month in February on all streaming sites.
