Kelsey Eiman is a singer, songwriter, and musician; with a sound rooted in folk and Americana music. Hailing from a small town in Alabama, Eiman found inspiration in southern staples such as Tammy Wynette, Shania Twain, and John Prine. Growing up with a musician as a father, the gravitational pull towards music became unavoidable. Kelsey started singing at a young age, learning harmonies by humming along to the radio. With no formal training, she began picking out songs by ear on various instruments before teaching herself to play guitar to accompany her vocals. After receiving well-intentioned peer pressure from fellow artists, Kelsey attended a local open mic. This ignited a passion for performing and emotionally fusing with audiences. In 2020, she began writing as a therapeutic exercise. Noticing a rhythmic element, she shifted her words to become more intentional, laying the foundation for what would later transform into her first song. Kelsey's songwriting is full of candor. She offers a glimpse into personal life experiences, refusing to stray away from difficult topics. Listeners are deeply moved as Eiman delivers songs in a serene style that touch the soul and invoke raw emotion. She can currently be found performing across the panhandle at a variety of venues and songwriter festivals.
