Where is Floyd Kelly’s music studio?

The Floyd Kelly Music studio is located in the Pacific Northwest (US). Our studio thrives in a small town surrounded by mountains and lush evergreen forests. It is very peaceful.

How long has Floyd Kelly been releasing music?

I officially began releasing my music in 2013 with the debut of “Benevolence,” an 8-track electronic music album. Between then and 2017, I published 5 full-length music albums. After a focused creative period, I returned in 2024 and have since released 35 music singles, constantly expanding my digital catalog.

What musical genres does Floyd Kelly produce?

My catalog spans a wide, eclectic array of musical genres.

Officially categorized under New Age on Apple Music, my music bridges cinematic, orchestral grandeur with down-to-earth, soulful storytelling. My discography breaks down into several distinct genres:

Pop & Dance-Pop
Pop is a central pillar of my style, often serving as the baseline for my catchy, rhythmic, and upbeat tracks: “Up To The Ceiling,” “Get Funky Get Groovy,” “Cookies for E.T.,”.

Dance, R&B, Soul & Funk
I frequently release tracks rooted in classic grooves, synthesizers, and soulful vocal arrangements: “I Am Your Winter” (R&B/Soul), “Family, Oh Family” (Blue-Eyed Soul Ballad), “Down To The Floor” (Dance/Workout), and “Rhythm Revelation” (Dance/Pop).

Singer-Songwriter, Country & Folk
When delivering more personal or fun narrative stories, I lean heavily into acoustic guitar arrangements and organic instrumentation: “Keys in Her Hand,” and “Chicken and Waffles Day.”

Cinematic, Ambient & New Age
My instrumental compilations and earlier works are deeply atmospheric and theatrical: “Towards the Light,” “Elixir,” and “The Doorway” are celebrated for their dramatic orchestral synths, electronic ambience, and beautiful violin textures.

Rock & Anthems
“Happy Birthday, USA (250th Anniversary)” is a high-energy rock anthem celebrating America’s Semicentennial.

Christian & Gospel
“Heaven Now Lives Within You” is styled as a cinematic Christian/Gospel anthem describing the immediate rising of souls in the Rapture.

Mambo & Latin Dance
“Monument Mambo” is a high-energy, fast-paced mambo duet structured specifically for dance choreography.

Hip Hop & Melodic Rap
I have experimented with rap structures on tracks like “Happy Birthday Bryson!” (Rap/Pop) and “The Fate of a Beautiful Mind” (Melodic Rap/Pop).

Holiday & Comedy
“A Christmas Wish for Peace” and “The Colors of Christmas” (Holiday/Pop) and “Don’t Do Drugs” (Satirical/Comedy).

Is Floyd Kelly involved in creative projects outside of music?

Yes, music is only one part of my creative output. I am also a writer and digital content creator. My work includes writing short stories rooted in absurdist humor, finishing my memoir, and crafting interconnected narrative worlds like The Iris Apocrypha (Mythological Fiction) and The Rumpelverse (Comedy TV Fiction). I also produce digital videos that bring experimental visual concepts and stories to life.

What is The Rumpelverse?

The Rumpelverse is a comedy TV fiction universe I have written, structured as a two-season narrative arc. Serving as a lighthearted, satirical counterpart to my dramatic work, the series focuses on dropping little sparks of weirdness into the daily grind.

The story follows a modern, reinvented version of the classic character – Rumpelstiltskin – who is an artfully chaotic, handsome, and eternally positive trickster traveling the country in a smelly 1997 dark green Ford Aerostar van while blasting tracks from Chained To The Rhythm and Déjà Vu.

Armed with a burlap sack full of reality-bending relics – including the Worn-Out Sponge of Wealth, the Jar of Frozen Moments, the Sphere of Precise Magic, and a magical Paper Towel Tube – he uses absurd, high-risk verbal spells to cause minor chaos, provide charity to the poor, and navigate cosmic courtrooms.

Season 1, “The Road to Louisiana,” focuses on his urgent cross-country journey to rescue his long-lost, rock-loving black Labrador retriever, Beebers.

Season 2, “The Cosmic Trail,” expands into larger adventures across locations like Roswell, New Mexico, and a secret pocket dimension outside of space and time that holds his personal vault and a massive 5-gigaton city of pure gold.

Along the way, the series features an eccentric cast of characters, including the formidable, 6-foot-5 diner owner Aunt Hilda, the deceptively simple and famously pungent Uncle Skidmark, the vintage-Madonna-loving Aunt Jezzie, a blunt, scooter-riding Granny, and a green-skinned alien collector named “Big Eyes” who is completely obsessed with Earth’s chocolate chip cookies.

What can viewers expect from your video library, Mr. Kelly?

My video library features over 230 free-to-watch creative videos on my YouTube channel, youtube.com/@FloydKelly. The content is highly diverse, spanning original music visualizers, behind-the-scenes production logs, and artistic project diaries. More recently, it has served as a space for creative experimentation, including short films utilizing cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools. Most of my video library is free to download as templates for your projects.

To Floyd Kelly: What role do service dogs play in your life?

My service dogs are my family, providing deep companionship, unconditional love, and purpose. Over the past twenty years, I have shared my life with three incredible rescues, taking them on adventures. Caring for them is a daily responsibility that brings me immense joy, and my current dog serves as a wonderful bridge for connection with the people in my local community.

How can people best support your work or give back?

While streams and playlist additions or story reads are always appreciated, I find the truest fulfillment in seeing people look outward and support those in immediate need right in front of them. If you want to honor my journey, consider performing a random act of kindness, volunteering at a local food bank, or directly helping a hungry neighbor or a person struggling on the street in your own community. Tangible, direct action is the most meaningful way to make a difference.

What is “Word Greed”?

If you like Wordle, you’ll like Word Greed! It is an interactive word puzzle game I created, with the code written by Google Gemini. You drag and drop scrambled letters onto a grid to solve words from a massive word bank while hunting down big bonus rewards like trophies and diamonds. The game features a dynamic soundtrack with 9 distinct instrumental tracks I composed alongside Udio, plus custom daily login reward calendars, an item trading post, and special unlockable badges.

Where can I stream and listen to your music?

You can stream my music across all major platforms. I am available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora.

How can I ask Alexa to play your music?

You can easily listen to my music on any Alexa-enabled device. Simply use the standard voice command: “Alexa, play Floyd Kelly on Amazon Music.”

When can I hear “A Christmas Wish for Peace” by Floyd Kelly on ChristmasRadio.com™?

Since ChristmasRadio.com broadcasts 24/7/365, you can tune in anytime to catch it during the regular rotation, or contact the program director directly to request the song.

Hi Mr. Kelly, what is the most memorable time in your music career thus far?

July 4th 2026. I was in junior high school in 1976 celebrating the Bicentennial and here it is 50 years later and I wrote a song titled “Happy Birthday, USA (250th Anniversary)”.

The song had been playing for months in the lead up to the July 4th celebrations.

On July 5th, I received an email alert about a TikTok video using my song. I investigated further to find that in one day, 550 TikTok videos recording celebrations all across the United States with my song as the chosen backdrop. Videos of flyovers, ships, fireworks, from New York, Brooklyn Bridge, Rockefeller Center to Florida, Texas, California, Ohio, Niagara Falls, and so many more places.

When I realized it, I started to cry, a good cry. People were celebrating with something I created for the occasion that I created from my heart. A lot of work went into the song lyrics and the direction as executive producer. I will not forget this holiday.

Has Floyd Kelly won any beauty or performance awards?

Your question is worthy of the “Triple Chuckle Award for the Day” 🏆😀🏆 – actually, it’s a big laugh followed by lots of giggles! To answer your question: no, and no.

Is Floyd Kelly on a grand world tour?

My world tour is actually happening right now – it starts at the coffee maker, has a brief layover in the living room, and ends at my studio desk. Tickets are incredibly free, but the dress code is strictly slippers and pajama pants.

Do all the flashing lights, spotlights, and attention affect your sight?

Ummm… lights? Spotlights? I can’t stop giggling! Thank you for cheering me up for the day.

Out of all your songs, is there one track that is your absolute favorite?

Wow! That is a loaded question. Each song holds a very specific memory or emotion for me. But if I had to pick one it is “The Scars We Wear” to released August 2026. I refer to the song as a message in a bottle.

Can I read your bio on Page Six?

Thank you for the great chuckle. Some of your questions really make my day. And, to answer your question, I’m not on any pages. 😀

What does your backstage rider look like for a recording session in your recording hut?

It is highly demanding. Give me two chocolate glazed donuts and a glass of milk, and I’m good to go. If the milk isn’t super-duper cold, the entire recording session is officially on hold.

Which do you prefer, Gucci or Valentino?

LOL. I prefer jeans, a t-shirt, and comfy footwear. You can also find me wearing a coat in the winter, because, well… you know, it’s fashionable and its winter.
