Bio: Kelly Even is a versatile performer whose passion for storytelling and music is matched by her adventurous spirit and boundless creativity. A lifelong Disney enthusiast, Kelly embraced her childhood dreams during the Disney College Program, where she met her favorite characters, Phineas and Ferb. Her love of Disney’s magic and her dedication to the performing arts blend seamlessly into her work on stage and screen, reflecting her genuine, uplifting spirit.
Kelly’s commitment to her craft is fueled by a deep love of music and storytelling. For her, singing isn’t just a career—it’s an essential part of her being. “Singing is like breathing—I can’t live without it,” she shares. Her connection to the art form is palpable, whether she’s performing onstage or immersing herself in creative projects like writing and editing stories. Kelly has also delved into Star Wars fan fiction, crafting tales like Hope in the Spires, where she channels her imagination and narrative flair into vivid, engaging scenes.
Beyond the stage, Kelly embraces a world of diverse interests. She’s a certified NAUI Mermaid and Skin Diver, often found performing at events or sharing her mermaid adventures on her @mermaid.kelp Instagram. Her love of nature and the outdoors complements her creative pursuits, whether she’s imagining rock formations as slides, rafting with family, or stargazing with hopes of catching a shooting star. Kelly’s curiosity and love of learning also extend to languages—she continues to study French and practices American Sign Language, a skill she nurtured from a young age with her father.
Kelly’s spontaneity and zest for life are evident in her travels, from a spontaneous trip to New York with her aunt to attending Pentatonix concerts at a moment’s notice. Whether cosplaying with friends, meeting her idols like Ewan McGregor, or simply soaking in new experiences, Kelly lives each day with a sense of wonder and an enduring passion for performance, connection, and creativity.
