She has charted in the top 20 Music Week charts three times with her first three singles "Believe In Me", "Drop The Bomb" and "Koh Samui". The music video for latest single "Koh Samui" premiered on Vevo on 30 September 2014 and signed to ProBeat South Korea in late 2014.
Pepper is the eldest of four children, raised in Bexleyheath, Kent. She began songwriting at the age of 13, after enrolling on several songwriting and development courses, including PPM (Polo Piatti Management) of which Pixie Lott was also a student.
In 2013, Kelly released debut single "Believe In Me" which was playlisted on Bang Radio and Reprezent radio stations and supported by DJ EZ on Kiss Radio. Her follow-up single "Drop The Bomb" featured a sample by the Ragga Twins and received similar radio support. Her most recent single "Koh Samui" received support from Ministry Of Sound Clubbers Guide on Capital Xtra and from Mike Delinquent on Kiss FM. Throughout 2014, Pepper has written tracks for Sigma, Matrix & Futurebound and Drumsound & Bassline Smith as well as writing for TV and film. Pepper has previously supported Labrinth and Example at festival appearances over the UK and Europe.
In an interview with Female First, Kelly stated that early 2000s trance music had influenced her music as well as commercial drum and bass such as Chase & Status and Skrillex.
