BELLES
In a world full of imitators and social media facades, BELLES (Kelli Belles) stands out as an artist unapologetically true to herself. Based in Nashville, her voice is as striking as her presence—effortlessly blending a dreamy, modern edge with the timeless soul of country music’s golden era. Known for her electric live performances and vivid storytelling, BELLES crafts songs packed with raw emotion and imagery that feels pulled straight from real life.
Hailing from Omaha, NE, BELLES brings a Midwest grit and authenticity to everything she does, balancing small-town roots with big-stage ambition. Her journey has taken her from sharing the stage with artists like Miranda Lambert to headlining her own cross-country ‘Trust Issues Tour’ in 2024, captivating audiences from Philadelphia to Los Angeles.��Belles current single, “Crazy As Me” charted at #3 on the iTunes Country Charts and #18 All Genres. It has remained in the top 60 since it’s release on 7.18.25. It has had over 25M views on social media, and had 100k streams in it’s first week on Spotify.
Drawing inspiration from legends like Loretta Lynn and June Carter Cash, BELLES reimagines the classic country sound for today’s world. With tracks like *Porcelain* and *Ring On The Table*, she invites listeners into a world where vintage charm collides with modern, dreamy vocals—fusing the spirit of Music Row with the heart of East Nashville. BELLES isn’t just making music; she’s creating an experience that feels like a bridge between the Grand Ole Opry and the vibrant, boundary-pushing future of country. Belles is signed to East Music Row Records, and Deluge Music Publishing in Nashville.
