Chelcee Grimes is a British singer and songwriter.[1]
Career
Chelcee Grimes has written songs for The Saturdays, Kesha, Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue. At the age of 18 Chelcee Grimes shared the stage with Jessie J. at Liverpool's Cavern Club,[2] having previously played professional football for Liverpool FC and Everton.[3] Chelcee has written on releases by X Factor winner Louisa (So Good), Kylie Minogue (Million Miles), BoA (First Time) and The Saturdays (Walking Through The Desert), also racking up song-writing credits for Dua Lipa (Warner UK), Kesha, Mic Lowry (Decca UK), Stanaj (Republic), Mollie King[4] (Island) and Chris Lane (Big Loud Mountain Nashville US).
Her first success came with "Million Miles", a song she co-wrote for Kylie Minogue with Danish producers Cutfather (Superstar) in just under an hour, inspired by being away from her family. She recalls:
‘I just sang ‘I feel like I’m a million, million, milion, feel like I’m a million miles away ...’ And that was the hook. I could have chosen any subject, they just played me the track they’d built for her sound and asked for lyrics and a top line, but that was what came to me.’ [5]
In 2014 she won "Best up and coming new act" at the Juice FM Style Awards.[6] Chelcee Grimes has also written the solo single by Girls Generation superstar Taeyeon “11:11", released through S.M Entertainment on 1 November 2016.
In 2016 she signed a new management deal with 365 Artists, headed by Adam Clough.[7] 2017 sees Chelcee embark on releasing her solo material initially featuring on new albums by Olly Murs (RCA/Sony UK) and Tom Walker (Relentless/Sony UK).
