"I saw Little Dragon in 2009 after writing the lead singer, Yukimi Nagano, on Myspace. I was like, “Hey, if you need background vocals or somebody dancing or a merch girl, I am all the way down.” After the show she was like, “I went to your page and I tried to find some of your music. Why isn't there music up there?” I was like, “Oh, yes, about that.” Laughs. She told me to jam with my friends and not think about what I was doing. I know it sounds obvious but it was all I needed. I wrote my first song two months later."
"The turning point came when she was studying International Studies and Sociology at the School of International Service at the American University in DC. "I was failing at school, I was doing really horrible," Kelela says matter-of-factly. "It got to a point – my parents were like 'Okay, what the f***?', basically. And then I was like, 'I need to not do this. I think I'm really distracted. I think I'm subconsciously really overwhelmed with the fact that I haven't pursued music.'" It was at that crossroads when Kelela left college – with a semester left to go to graduate – in pursuit of a musical career built on her own terms; in Autumn 2010 she moved to LA with no plans, wound up making the connection with Fade to Mind via a mutual friend, and the rest is history."
