Kelly Padrick is an American indie pop and country-pop singer, songwriter, and actress whose music blends atmospheric dream-pop harmonies with an instinctive gift for storytelling. Originally from Rhode Island and now based in New York City, Padrick has been composing music since the age of five, establishing a creative foundation that has continued to evolve throughout her career.
Her distinctive sound has reached audiences beyond traditional music spaces through prominent television and film placements. Her songs have appeared in ABC’s Desperate Housewives, HBO’s VICE, and the Fox Searchlight film Trust the Man, highlighting the cinematic quality and broad emotional appeal of her work.
Visual storytelling has also become an important part of Padrick’s artistic identity. She has collaborated extensively with filmmaker Patricia Chica, who has directed 11 of her cinematic music videos, including Waiting for This and the award-winning Heavenly Ride. Their creative partnership continues into 2027, with a video for “Shine,” from Padrick’s Butterflies EP, scheduled to be filmed in Montreal in January.
Padrick’s latest chapter arrived in September 2026 with Butterflies, a nostalgic country-pop EP produced by Marc Copely. The project adds another dimension to an already expansive discography that includes albums such as Haze, Carmine Street, Hello My Love, Soulmate, The Kind of Girl, Dear Love, and It’s Only Me / On the Line.
With “Shine” representing her current creative era, Kelly Padrick continues to demonstrate an ability to connect music, emotion, and visual storytelling—making her an artist whose work feels equally at home in intimate listening spaces and cinematic worlds.
