Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Kelsey Lu left home at 18 to study cello. Now based in New York, the artist creates music that pushes the boundaries of what a cello can do. Lu's music incorporates elements of R&B, classical, and experimental pop, creating a genre-defying sound that's entirely their own. She has collaborated with, and contributed to albums from, many of her peers including Blood Orange, Kelela, Wet, and Organized Noize.
