Norman Kelsey is a singer-songwriter from Cleveland, OH, who has spent the last 25 years in North Hollywood, CA. Black & White, he proudly traces family roots to both historic Harlem, NYC and tiny Balqhuidder, Scotland. He grew up on a steady diet of Bee Gees, Beatles and Michael Jackson. He draws influences from Prince, Marvin Gaye, David Bowie and Mick Jagger. Norman's goal with each record is to create a sonic art with flavors from a time when Top 40 radio spun pop, rock, disco and soul back-to-back-to-back. After a health-related sabbatical, 2015 saw him collaborate with Adam Marsland and Teresa Cowles under the banner of Pacific Soul Ltd. The trio recorded and subsequently toured the UK in May, 2015. Their EP featured several well-received tracks including "Blue Summertime." The group returned to the studio to complete a full-length LP "The Dance Divine," featuring Norman's vocal and writing contributions, dropping October 21st, 2016.
