Kaylee Bell is an artist who has already proven her international appeal having won over fans in her homeland of New Zealand and now doing likewise in Australia. Testament to this is her Gold Guitar - New Zealand’s highest accolade for country music - and her most recent crowning glory as Australia’s 2013 Toyota Star Maker.
Following her experience at the CMAA College of Country Music in 2009, 24-year-old Kaylee, from the little town of Waimate on New Zealand’s South Island, went home and set about making plans to “cross the Ditch” and carve out a career for herself.
In 2011, she did just that and, on completion of a Bachelor in Performing Arts majoring in musical theatre, in Christchurch, packed up her life and headed solo to Australia for the pursuit of success.
Kaylee entered Toyota Star Maker in 2011, 2012 and in January this year – well prepared and determined to take out the award – she headed to Tamworth, and emerged as the thirty-fourth winner.
Her first major single releases Love Was Just A Fairytale and Unglamorous worked their way to the top of the charts and her first single Heart First from her Star Maker album is following suit.
