SoundCloud is one of the few platforms that allow download and streaming of artist's music WITHOUT REDUCING the volume a crazy amount.  I mean, why struggle to create a loud, clear track, if your streaming platform is just going to lower it's volume anyway?  This song is posted on YouTube, but here is the place where you will get an actual gym-ready track that will hold up to the ambient noise of a busy listening environment, and still get the job done!  Enjoy!   [This track includes content downloaded and created from udio.com.]

Rise and Shine

Beautiful Everywhere is a mainly instrumental remix, and a new arrangement of, my song Beautiful Somewhere, which can be found on my Electrified Volume 2 EP.

Beautiful Everywhere

I woke up with a smile on my face
Can't wait to start this day with pace
The sun is shining, the birds are singing
My heart is dancing, my joy is ringing
Excitement is bubbling, happiness so real


I Am Excited

Today is a very exciting day. I uploaded my first song on DistroKid. It is called ‘GIMME THAT LOVE’. The artist name who is singing the song name is  ‘Varda it’s under kELLEYJ label, and ‘KINGSTEADSTUDIOS’.. 

That song will be sent to all the streaming services and it will be live on June 5, 2024. I will upload a new song every Wednesday of every week, and every month of the year continuously. I will start making the release date  for every song at least 21 days out. Eventually, the timing will catch up with itself, and every Wednesday a new song will come out. 

I have over 4000 songs and it’s time to do something with them. I do this because I enjoy it. Under the kELLEYJ label, and ‘KINGSTEADSTUDIOS’..

Thanks for listening to my stuff! You can send me feedback on my Twitter feed below.

In June 2024, I released a couple of tracks. I Blame Myself is a trailer for my next album, currently in production, and Beautiful Everywhere is a remix of my song Beautiful Somewhere which you can find on my Electrified Volume 2 EP.

In September 2022 I released an EP, 'Electrified Volume 1', which showcases 4 of my songs, which had only ever previously been recorded acoustically, with full band arrangements.


I followed this up with Electrified Volume 2 in June 2023.

I was honoured in March 2022 to present a new release, Unfinished Business - A Tribute To Nick Blair, in  memory of my late friend and musical collaborator.

In 2021 I released a new album, Burning daylight, recorded during the dark days of 2020, with a little help from my friends.

****************************************************************
I am a singer-songwriter based near York in the UK. I have been singing, playing and writing since the early 80s. I have written about 200 songs although probably half of them are fit for public consumption. I wrote quite a bit in the 80s and the best of that period is presented as the Hidden Talent,  Rose Tinted Spectacle and Dark Horse albums. Most of the tracks on these albums were re-recorded in 2003 and 2016 respectively but Dark Horse uses the original tapes.

 I wrote very little in the 90s as life got in the way but hit a purple patch of writing between 2002 and 2011 which represents much  of my material on Soundcloud. I'm still writing new songs but am concentrating more on recording some of the older ones.

Between 2005 and 2008 I was in a band called Box of Goats which gigged around the York area playing pubs and festivals (such as the Galtres Festival in 2007 and 2008). The Box of Goats album, which has full band production, is  ' The Universal Theory of Everything'. 

These days I'm in a guitar duo with Mike Scotter called Unarmed Weasel. We play live occasionally.

I plan to continue writing and releasing my songs.
