Kelsey Lu is a visionary artist whose emotive range and avant-garde approach have established her as a singular voice in the contemporary music landscape. A classically trained cellist with a flair for genre-blurring composition, Kelsey Lu crafts a unique alloy of chamber music sophistication with modern alternative and electronic elements. Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and based in Los Angeles, her journey through music began with a deep foundation in classical music, which continues to permeate her sound.

Lu's debut album, "Blood," released in 2019, was met with critical acclaim, showcasing a bold synthesis of strings, vocals, and ambient textures that narrate a powerful personal and sonic exploration. The album inscribed her presence in the alternative scene, while collaborations with artists as diverse as Skrillex and Chilly Gonzales on tracks like the "Due West (Skrillex Remix)" and "Ride Or Die" display her versatility and eagerness for cross-genre experimentation. Kelsey Lu's artistry extends beyond sound into visual realms, bringing a cinematic quality to her music videos and performances. Her engagement with themes of identity and transformation, coupled with her hauntingly beautiful cello lines and ethereal voice, make her a compelling and influential figure in modern experimental music.
