On Oct. 22, 1991 Kelsey Nicole Manuel was born to the Rev. Allen Manuel and his wife Yolanda. The Manuel's had three kids total two boys and one girl with Kelsey as the middle child. Changing times brought about many changes in the Manuel household. When Kelsey was only four her father turned his back on his faith and his family when he became consumed with a gambling addiction leaving Mrs. Manuel to take over as head of the house. At nine years old Kelsey found a way to express her inward struggles by vocalizing them into music, she would detach herself from life’s problems with the stroke of her pen. For Kelsey she would simply write and escape to the studio to find peace. When Kelsey was twelve years old a long time friend gave her the name “KadaMiami” and from that point on there was no turning back. While other kids her age were into video games, sports, and outdoor play “Kada” was writing and performing her own music in artist showcases including one for P. Diddy. It was during this time that “Kada” started working with local celebrity Lil Kano of New Orleans, Louisiana. This duo recorded Kelsey’s first two songs “Picture This” and “Game Time Bounce”. Kada has met some amazing people throughout her young career including Willie Harris or Soljah Will who produced many of her soon to be released tracks. She has tried hand at modeling through Jolie Modeling & Talent, been a part of a group; “Fly Mobb Squad, and is currently a dental school student. Currently Kelsey “KadaMiami” is working on her solo project titled “The Final Introduction” set to be released in 2012.
