Paul Kelly, a celebrated singer-songwriter from Australia, has
left an indelible mark on the music scene, yet his massive talent
has never catapulted him to superstar status. His poetic and
harmonious compositions, though remarkable, never quite
achieved mainstream success, failing to captivate the crowds that
flocked to INXS, Midnight Oil, Jimmy Barnes, and John Farnham.
Kelly's music, while never loud or controversial enough to
attract the attention of a broader audience, remains an
unparalleled treasure trove of lyrical masterpieces. His
incredible songs, such as 'To Her Door', 'Before Too Long', and
'Tease Me', are nothing short of musical poetry. Recognizing
this, Kelly has released a book of his song lyrics, 'Don't Start
Me Talking', which showcases his remarkable skill with words.
Kelly's family is also replete with talent. His daughter Memphis
Kelly, who starred alongside him in 'One Night The Moon', is
also a member of the band Wishful, formed with her twin sister
Madeleine. His nephew Dan Kelly, a renowned singer-guitarist
in Australia, has collaborated with Paul on his latest album and
released his own solo album. Paul is married to the accomplished
actress Kaarin Fairfax. Additionally, he has penned music for
several Australian movies and continues to record albums to this
day.
