Kelly Overett biography

Kelly Overett was born on 19th of March 1972 in Ipswich. Her mother is called Caroline and her father Andrew aka Andy. She has a brother, Terry and a sister, Danny. Her mother had her take dance and singing courses. She worked as an accountant, then as a model. Kelly began her artistic career at the age of 17 as a dancer on TV-programs. She left her parents' home to follow her boyfriend, who turned out to be an unstable and violent man. Then she worked as dancer for Raindance, Carl Cox, then for breakbeat hardcore project SL2. She appeared in their hits Way In My Brain and On a Ragga Tip's music videos. After she had finished touring with them, a friend of her, who worked as an agent, told her that Cappella was looking for a member. This is how she became Cappella's frontlady from 1993 to 1995.

At that time, according to the interviews she gave, she was still a single person, even if there were rumours about her living with Brian of the boys band East 17. She moved to London in a 5-rooms house she shared with her best friend Lily. She said she was extravert, honest and self-confident... Even if she thought her feet were too big. She liked gymnastics, swimming, sleeping, looking at photo albums and going shopping. For her, the worst thing in life was loneliness. She also hated liars. She admired Madonna. She loved dolphins.

After the first album, the atmosphere within Cappella was going down more and more and she left Cappella get on with her solo career. Her first solo single was entitled Follow Your Heart under the name Kelly-O. Released in 1995, it was then withdrawned from sale. A videoclip was shot, but never aired. Another song was recorded, but it was never released. Then she briefly joined SL2 again when they released On A Ragga tip '97.

Around 2004, Kelly used to work on radio Vibe FM, in Norwich. The station then became Kiss FM in later years and Kelly became the Commercial Director of the Kiss Network, of Planet Rock and then Magic. She is married and has a daughter.

2022 : Kelly opened an Instagram account to share old pics. In December, she joined Twenty 4 Seven to replace Li-Ann who was pregnant.
