About Kelly Lee Owens:
During her high school years, Kelly Lee Owens received two certificates: “music lover of the year” and “dreamer of the year.” This dreamer spirit, which her mother called “Kelly’s World,” has made her one of the most respected names pushing the ethereal and emotional boundaries of electronic music today. Her latest album Dreamstate is a manifesto dedicated to dreaming and healing by looking higher. The album is also the first release of dh2, the new electronic music imprint under Dirty Hit by George Daniel of The 1975.
Growing up among the Celtic landscapes of North Wales, Owens says her connection with nature is one of the main inspirations behind her music. Initially pursuing nursing to channel her empathy, she found the courage to turn to music while working in a cancer hospital, encouraged by patients telling her to “follow your true dream.”
Her encounter with analog synthesizers became a turning point; the repetitive structure of techno and its emotional intuition offered her an unlimited space for expression. Shaped after the pandemic and a breakup, Dreamstate tells an inner journey from heartbreak to healing.
For Owens, the album represents the element of “air”: collective dreaming, rising, and transforming together.
As one of the rare female figures in the techno scene, Owens emphasizes that dreaming is vital—especially for those who lack support: “Allow yourself to dream bigger.”
