Dolly Parton Tribute – Kelly
Australian born Singer/Comedienne/Dancer/Actress and Writer Kelly OBrien has been entertaining professionally for over 15 years
Kelly first began singing Country at the age of 14. Two years later she was crowned South Australian Country Vocalist of the Year and Best New Talent at the famous pan-Australian Gympie Muster country festival- securing Kelly her first recording contract. This led to endless exposure- as one of Australias youngest Country singers
Kellys first national television appearance was on the talent show New Faces. Regular TV performances then included spots on Good Morning Australia, Carols in the Domain, Cartoon Network, Living with Style and Home and Away.
Kellys biggest break however came when she made it to the final 12 in POPSTARS 2 on Australian national TV.
In February 2002, Kelly was offered a lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webbers hit musical Starlight Express, in Germany. This consequently led to a record contract with Zyx music and the release of the hit single Crucified. Other theatre credits have included ensemble roles in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Tonights the night.Since arriving in London three years ago, Kelly has worked extensively as a freelance singer, as well as having numerous Television spots on shows such as Gok Wans- How to Look Good Naked, Miss Naked Beauty and the X-factor 5- performing with Diana Vickers.
TV advertisements include featured roles for Nestle, British Airways and 7-UP (directed by X-mens Bryan Singer).
Country music however is where Kellys passion lies and since winning first place in prestigious Sydney Talent Quest in 2000- as a Dolly Parton impersonator- Kelly has been performing as Dolly ever since.
Shes exactly like Dolly And her voice- its just AMAZING!
As a professional entertainer and comedienne this comes as no surprise.
