Kellee Maize

Kellee Maize was drawn to hip-hop as an outlet for activism.

Her mom always says she was singing and dancing before she could talk and walk. She moved to Pittsburgh to go to college with a dream of making an impact on the world. While attending the University of Pittsburgh she began performing live with hip hop bands.

After experiencing many life challenges including coming to terms with being adopted, watching her adoptive mother battle lung cancer, her adoptive father dying, and her birth mother rejecting her attempts at connecting, Kellee turned to music as a means to cope with depression and anxiety she faced.  She also found inspiration from various metaphysical and new age teachings, like Zen Buddhism, which motivated her to share this wisdom to help others through her music.
