Kelly Daye - I'm Doin' Fine (Singer & Songwriter from 2003)

Kelly Daye a talented singer & songwriter based in Nashville, TN, has won the first SingerUniverse "Best Vocalist Of The Month" Competition, for her performance of "Missing You." This is a new song which was written & produced by veteran writer/producer Tommy Farragher, who is based in New York City. "Missing You" is one of seven Farragher songs that Daye has recorded, and Daye's performance of his song "I'm Doin' Fine" was also named one of the Top Five vocal performances of the month.

"Missing You" is an intimate, haunting pop-rock ballad, which provides an excellent showcase for Daye's clear, passionate vocals. Daye also expertly performs all the background vocal parts, and her multi-tracked harmonies create a rich vocal texture that helps create a powerful bridge and final chorus for this production.

Daye was born and raised in Baltimore, MD, and she began singing and performing live at a very young age. Her mother entered her into beauty pageants for girls, and her singing ability helped her excel in the talent segments. "I always loved singing -- I performed anywhere anyone would let me sing," recalled Daye. 'I also sang in church, did talent shows, community theatre, and sang in the (well known) Peabody's Children's Choir. I was inspired by great singers in many genres, such as Pat Benatar, Celine Dion, Reba McEntire and Liz Phair. In addition, when I was in high school, I sang in several rock bands."

Following high school, Daye started commuting to New York City (a four-hour drive), meeting songwriters and doing demo work. She eventually met hit writer/producer Tommy Farragher, who has worked with Taylor Dayne, Al Green and many others. They hit it off, and during the next year, Daye sang on seven of Farragher's songs, including "Missing You," which was recorded in January 2003. "It was great working with Tommy," said Daye. "I learned a lot from him."
