Kelsey Iris

A proud First Nation's Woman belonging to the Murrawarri, Yuwaalaraay, Gamilaroi & Wiradjuri tribes. She calls home 'maayama yuluwirri-ba' (place of rainbow stone) on the Murilla's (ridges) of small opal-mining town Lightning Ridge in far West New South Wales.

​

Kelsey shines as a musician, singer-songwriter and producer, although quiet-achieving her music career boasts numerous successes, including performances at popular Australian music festivals and collaborations with accomplished and well renowned Australian artists. 

​

In 2021 she joined the amazingly talented rapper, drummer, composer and producer DOBBY on his Warrangu; River Story Tour, sharing song & stories with community back on country where the Barwon, Culgoa and Bogan rivers connect them. One of the highlights of her career is being featured on DOBBY's newly released Warrangu; River Story album (2024) with her original song 'Rivers Run Dry'. 

​

In 2025, Kelsey hopes to release a new Yuwaalaraay and Gamilaraay language album with the birralii (children) from her community in Lightning Ridge in partnership with Woganurra Aboriginal Corporation.
