Lisa B. Kelley is a vocalist and performance artist. Steeped in traditional theater, vocal, and performance studies in her youth, Lisa’s creative process continues to revolve around investigations of identity, musical genres and styles, dream action theater, her family’s immigration memories from the Philippines, universal archetypes, Eastern philosophy, and a recognition of the metaphysical and spiritual. Lisa’s performances and writing explore womanhood, grief, loss, dreams, and the confluence of self in nature and the cosmos. 

She spent 12 years working closely with Pauline Oliveros and IONE as a staff member and artist of the Deep Listening Institute, performing in numerous festivals and concerts. Lisa is a Deep Listening certificate holder and an ordained high priestess and board member of the Ministry of Maåt. 

Lisa is the founding executive director of the Kingston (N.Y.) Midtown Arts District and an arts commissioner for the City of Kingston, as well as a co-host of Radio Kingston’s Dream Life Radio with IONE and Jaguar Mary X.
