Kelly Llorenna Biography

• 
  One of the UK’s most successful female vocalists, Kelly Llorenna, follows her top ten solo single, Tell It To My Heart with a brand new version of a track she originally recorded way back in 1998 with Hardcore duo Force & Styles.
  
  Kelly's debut album All Clubbed Up has now shipped silver and is performed really well amongst all the Christmas big names
  
  Kelly Llorenna is truly the Queen of the UK dance floor. She has notched up eight top 10 hits, selling over 2 million singles to date. Her impressive vocal talents have made her the most requested live club PA in the UK and earlier this year she was voted 'Dance Recording Artist of The Year' at the Disco International (DI) Awards.
  
  Kelly, who hails from Manchester, knew from the tender age of 4 that she wanted to be a singer. "I was the family entertainment', she jokes. A childhood spent singing and dancing for her family and friends finally paid off when she was talent spotted to perform on the hugely popular 'Wack-a-day' TV show. "I was only 12 so it was kind of scary meeting Timmy Mallet!" However, any nerves were washed away when she bumped into Anthony Hopkins backstage and he wished her good luck.
  
  At 16 Kelly started Drama College where she formed her first band with 6 other fellow students called 'Freedom'. They performed in clubs and restaurants all over the north of England, recorded music and played to sell out audiences everywhere, giving Kelly her first taste of pop-stardom.
  
  Then she got her big break. Sitting down with a bunch of friends in the common room at college, a fledgling sound engineer called Kevin O'Toole walked in and asked: "Can anyone in here sing?" And that was the beginning of N-Trance.
  
  Kev and Kelly got to work straight away, recording what would go onto become their best selling single to date. Recorded in Kev's bedroom, Set You Free was originally released on white label in 1993. After relentless promotion, travelling up and down the country, singing for every kind of club crowd imaginable, Set You Free flew into the charts at No.2, selling over 1/2 a million copies and was only kept off the top spot by a certain Ms Celine Dion.
  
  "I was so excited when we heard the chart position" remembers Kelly, "and it was a massive relief, we had been working the record for so long it was like a huge weight had been lifted from our shoulders. We were just so happy!"
  
  Following on from the huge success with Set You Free, Kelly's distinctive vocals were showcased on several other N-Trance hits including Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?, Paradise City and Shake Ya Body.
  
  However, it has been the past year that has really seen Kelly cement herself as one of the most successful female solo artists in the UK.
  
  2002 was a truly an amazing year for this super talented 27-year old singer starting with the re-release of Set You Free in November 2001 which hit the No.4 spot in the UK Charts. Kelly has gone on to have 4 further top 10 records in the space of 12 months. Sailing into the top 10 with Flip & Fill on the massive dance floor smash, True Love Never Dies, Kelly then conquered the charts with her first major solo release, a classic re-take on Taylor Dayne's, Tell It To My Heart, which debuted at No.9.
  
  Since then Heart of Gold entered the UK top 20 at the end of 2002 - which led to a busy gig schedule throughout 2003.
  
  Kelly's last single, This Time I Know It's For Real just missed out on the top 10 - a great result for a great track
