BIOGRAPHY

Soulful. Powerful. Natural.


These are just a few words that describe the timeless allure and undeniable artistry of Justyna Kelley — a Nashville-native artist, songwriter, and producer whose music bridges country, soul, and cinematic Americana.

The daughter of acclaimed singer-songwriter Irene Kelley, Justyna grew up surrounded by Nashville’s creative energy and began performing before she could talk. Writing songs and stories as soon as she could hold a pen, she developed a natural gift for melody, emotion, and language — a passion that later led her to earn a degree in Theatre, English, and French (Summa Cum Laude) from the University of the South.

After launching her career between Nashville, Los Angeles, and New York, Justyna was discovered by legendary producer Charles Koppelman (Billy Joel, Madonna, Mary J. Blige) and began recording her first professional demos. She later signed her first international deal with 13 Bis Records / Warner France and moved to Paris — a city that still inspires much of her work today.

Fluent in French and Italian, Justyna now splits her time between both Nashville and Paris, writing, producing, and performing music that blends Southern storytelling with global perspective. She has written, sung, and produced projects for Warner Chappell, Universal Production Music, TF1/Kaptain Music, APM Music, and BMG with credits spanning NBC, MTV, CBS, Discovery Channel, and brands like Cheerios, Firestone, and Wonderbra.

Today, she is recognized not only for her voice but for her distinct production style — blending organic instruments with cinematic textures and layered harmonies that define her sound. Her self-produced album "From Nashville With Love" (TF1/Kaptain Music) showcases her evolution as a multi-instrumentalist and producer, and she is currently completing a new album for Warner Chappell Production Music titled "Heartland Drive", alongside several other projects in development.

A producer, engineer, and performer, Justyna’s work has earned multiple industry accolades, including a Mark Award nomination for Best Country Album for her Universal album "Nashville, TN" and songwriting credits that reached #1 on the Grassicana charts. She also tours and records with her mother and sister in the family trio Women of Kelley, continuing a legacy of harmony and authenticity.

Through every project, Justyna brings a rare combination of heart, craft, and vision — a true artist-producer forging her own path between Nashville roots and international horizons.
