KELS (Kelsey Hillock) is an American singer, songwriter and independent recording artist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known for a powerful jazz-rooted voice, neo-soul style and emotionally direct songwriting. Her sound blends jazz, R&B, pop, blues and soul into a vintage-yet-modern, fiercely independent edge that has earned her the "Dirty Blues Princess" moniker. Releasing prolifically since 2021, she dropped a steady run of 2025-2026 singles and EPs including "6ft Under", "Daddy's Not The One" and the 2026 "Dirty Blues Princess" project, ahead of her headline tour. In 2026 she was chosen to perform the national anthem for Game 2 of the NBA Finals — a marker of her fast-rising profile as a self-made soul artist.
