About Kelly

Kele le Roc was born Kelly Biggs in Mother’s hospital, Hackney, East London. Her Jamaican mother was a clothes designer and her England born father, a dancer and model. It was obvious from an early age that kelly had a penchant for all things musical. “My earliest memory” says Kele “was when i was about 3 I was watching a musical on the telly and the Nicholas brothers were tap dancing. I remember trying to copy them. From that day my mother decided to send me to dance school.
Kele loved dancing and had dreams of performing in the West end and on Broadway. Singing obviously went hand in hand with this, but at the age of 12 kele suffered a bad knee injury. This incident propelled kele into focusing more intently on her singing.

The first song she ever recorded was a cover version of “Rolls Royce” Its Over. Although it wasn’t long before kele was writing and recording her own material. She found a musical home with production team “Best Kept Secret” it was the first time that kele had worked with producers that she felt understood her musically and where she wanted to go with her sound. It was also where she would get the name Le Roc.

On the power of a woman...

“
What it means to me to be a woman. I have never been anything else, in this lifetime at least, so there is an ease and grace to it. I love being a woman and a black woman at that. I love feeling feminine and relishing in all the things that go with that. Like getting all glammed up and doing my hair and makeup. However i also like to connect with my masculine and i love DIY and getting stuck in. I think ultimately what it means is that i can be and i am, unapologetically me warts and all. ”
