Kelsea Robin is a violinist/songwriter who creates atmospheric orchestral pop with just her violin and voice, and the clever use of technology. Her sound was forged on the indie stages of New York City, where she spent her days studying classical violin, and her nights in bars and clubs forming her creative identity. With a flair for the dramatic and influences as varied as Fleetwood Mac, Anna Nalick, and 2000s J-pop, Kelsea’s lyrics dive fearlessly into the human condition.
