Episode 8. Kelsy Karter - Embracing Your Uniqueness: Be Totally Vulnerable and Completely Invincible

In this episode we chat with Kelsy Karter, lead singer of Kelsy Karter & The Heroines. Kelsy discusses the complexities of being a female artist and the strength she draws from her experience with mental health and creative living. Her advice to young artists and reflections on self-compassion are moving, inspiring and life-affirming.

Frontwoman Kelsy Karter is an unapologetic singer/songwriter who invites the audience into a beautifully strange world of her own making, a fantasia that’s equal parts rock-and-roll grit and wildly theatrical grandeur. Rolling Stone Magazine called Kelsy a beacon for female rockstars.

The band has spent the past few years touring the world as headliners, support and festivals, most recently in 2023 supporting Billy Idol across the US and Palaye Royale in EU. They are currently working on their second album which has been described by the band as an electric and emotional adventure. Their guitar-drenched sound steeps in elements of glam rock, punk and Britpop giving way to a sonic aesthetic both undeniably timeless and entirely of-the-moment.
