Keeley launched her debut single in June 2017 titled 'Curio', a single from the collection of originals and reinvented covers on The Acoustic EP. The EP was launched at the sold out J Shed in Fremantle along with a live art show and exhibition. It was exclusively released through RTR FM and BandCamp where you can download it for free, you won't find it on any other public platforms.
The collection of originals and covers were a gift to family and friends and self produced in her parents house. This captured the nature of her online Soundcloud presence before she weaved herself into the Queensland and Perth music scene. Prior to 2017, her covers reached close to 50 thousand plays on Soundcloud, an incredible amount of her demographic listening overseas.
Spending 2016-2018 at SAE Quantum studying for her degree in Audio Engineering, Keeley curated her Debut EP 'KORA' as her major project, hoping to bring her production and sound to the next level with more layers of instrumentation and emotion. After graduating in May 2018, the final touches to the arrangements and mixes were completed in her bedroom.
September 2018 she released the EP's single 'Anew' to a sold out intimate crowd at Feld & Co., then finally the long awaited release of KORA, launched with a full band to yet another sold out crowd at the Four5nine, Rosemount Hotel.
2019 showcased Keeley's solo performance with support acts for amazing artists such as Riley Pearce and Michael Dunstan.
After selling out a string of Fringe shows in January 2019 and receiving a weekly award for her category, Keeley launched a follow up single 'Old Bottles' at the Indian Ocean Hotel (March) which has been her biggest sold out show to date. Showcasing and deepening the collective sound of the band throughout 2019, bringing an energetic and euphoric sound to the stripped back acoustic originals.
After her collaboration with SLUMBERJACK, Pilerats and returning from a successful National Tour with multiple shows hitting capacity, Keeley took a short break from live performances to write, produce and get ready for her next musical chapter.
