Biography

GEORGIA KELLY was classically trained on both piano and harp and began performing and composing in her teens. She recorded Seapeace, her first album, on January 13, 1978, in one five-hour session. Within five months, Seapeace had become an underground hit and, as many creative ventures seem to begin in garages, her garage became the shipping warehouse for a succession of albums that were released on her own label, Heru Records. Stories about the early days of New Age music and Georgia’s journey will be posted on her blog on this site.

Her music has been used in documentaries, TV programs, films. and in hospitals and clinics throughout the world. Several of her albums have received top ratings in music and literary publications, including Billboard Magazine’s New Age and Classical Cross-Over charts where her pieces charted in the top ten. With changes in the music industry, she started recording for other labels nationally and internationally, but in the fall of 1993, Georgia reacquired the rights to all of her albums and reactivated her recording company, which is now called Georgia Kelly Music.

Georgia is also founder and director of Praxis Peace Institute, a non-profit peace education organization founded in 2001. Praxis is located in Sonoma, California. At Praxis Peace Institute, Georgia brings together her passion for responsible citizenship and her interest in education that focuses on systemic change in the areas of peace, social and economic justice, and environmental sustainability. In that capacity, she has organized conferences, seminars, and hosts an interview program. More information is available at www.praxispeace.org
