notes

Not only has Canadian born Kelly Pettit been able to get his music spread out across 4 continents, but this Japan based musician has achieved this in ways that break the traditional mold of how a band should be heard. On his 4th Album titled “FUEL”, Kelly showcases exactly what makes him so alluring.
His mass appeal didn’t happen over night. Kelly has been slowly accumulating a loyal fan base since his first CD, “Life through a Windshield” and word of mouth about his music has graduated him to becoming a bona fide contender as a solid songwriter. His newest release “FUEL” has recently been reaching the masses through fans on Social Networks via the internet. It also won an international Ultimate Band Contest which started with over 2000 bands from all over the world; received great reviews in magazines like Artist Direct, Indie Artists, and the Tokyo music scene; and landed him newspaper and television space. Then, his song “She’s Just Like Summer”, won track of the month on ABC’s Fame Games radio which receives over 4 million listeners. Kelly’s growing popularity has led him to perform in front of sold out crowds of die hard Japanese fans.
On FUEL, Kelly takes a diverse approach to writing each song but always keeping in mind a feel good, energy driven approach. Having a close relationship and working with Canadian pop rock icons from the 90’s “ODDS” and Kelly Clarkson’s multi instrumentalist Cory Churko, Kelly took advantage of their understanding of crafting great melodic songs. “There are no bells and whistles in this album. It’s just solid musicians digging deep into each song to make them something special,” says Kelly. The result is a sonic experience described by Kelly as folk rock with a hint of alt-country and melodically driven for car driving.
Influenced largely by Australian bands like Crowded House, songwriter Neil Finn, Things of Stone and Wood, and Australian Paul Kelly, along with North American counterparts The Jayhawks, Barenaked Ladies, and the Counting Crows, Kelly works to define a sound all his own with musicianship and a dedication to each detail of the songwriting process. “My influences are quite diverse and you can really hear that in this CD. What’s constant is my attempt to keep the CD happy and upbeat”, says Kelly. Tracks like “She’ Just Like Summer”, “Little Imperfections”, and “World Is Turning” sum up that statement clearly while tracks like “Buy Now Pay Later” and “When You’re Alone” take a second listen to understand the positive message hidden in the lyrics. As one reviewer wrote, “It's clear by listening to FUEL that Kelly is a master singer/songwriter. His soulful tunes and easy vocals will make this CD, and any he comes out with next a "MUST HAVE".


ケリーぺティット

カナダのバンクーバー島出身。初めてプロと
してライブをしたのは高校時代、オリジナルをレコーディングし、販売、コンサートを開く。高校卒業後、オーストラリアに渡りミュージシャンとしての武者修行に励む。演奏ができる所ならいつでも、どこへでも出かけ、好きな音楽に明け暮れた日々を送る。この時の経験が自分のミュージシャンとしての技術もさることながら人間としても成長できたと思う、とは本人の弁。オーストラリア滞在中に自作の曲「スタンド　トール」が、「シドニー作詞・作曲家コンテスト」で優勝。一旦カナダに帰国、大学生活を送り、1997年トリオを組んで来日、群馬県沼田市のロックハート城専属のミュージシャンとなる。すっかり日本が気に入り、当時のトリオは解散したものの、沼田に留まり音楽活動を継続中。

　　　
これまでに、東京のカナダ大使館、JR上野　　駅でコンサート、毎年沼田市で開かれる音楽祭に参加、ロータリークラブのイベント、チャリティーコンサート、ホテル、結婚式、テーマパーク、お祭り等、一年を通して数え切れないほどのライブ活動をしている。
また、毎年カナダに帰国、精力的にコンサート活動をする。帰国の度に、地元のメディアで大きく扱われ、大忙しの「里帰り」である。特に2007年は、先のUBLコンテストの優勝があったので、僅か3週間の間に、ライブを7回、メジャー紙の数社の表紙を飾り、数社の雑誌に特集記事がり、30分のラジオインタビュー（CBC）、テレビのニュースのインタビュー等、まさに目も回るほどの忙しさだった。また、その優勝記念に「UBLコンテスト優勝記念コンサート」と銘打って、9月23日（日）Hotel Bella Vita（ 沼田市）で大々的に行なわれた。

    author: Mari L. McCarthy

    Kelly is the most masterful musician...gorgeous melodies, harmonies, lyrics...everything! His album plays beautifully over and over again in my office, on my IPod, in my car, even in my head's CD player! Perfect listening for any mood, his music is the gold standard. FUEL always starts my heart and soul and I can't wait for his next and his next and his next album!

  • Awesome Album!!!!
    author: Paula Fortney

    I’m a big music lover and when I first heard Kelly sing, I fell in love with his music right away. From beginning to the end, Kelly’s album FUEL has songs that really touch your heart!!! I find myself constantly listening to his songs, sometimes getting lost in the music. His voice does that to you! FUEL has become one of my favorite albums and Kelly has topped my list of artists I really love to listen too! For anyone who hasn’t bought this album, BUY IT!!!! You will not be disappointed! A must have album you need in your collection!

  • Thanks for this, Kelly!
    author: Christina from Germany

    I'm just so glad that I found Kelly recently - an artist so well after my own heart. He sings about situations and feelings that probably every one of us knows. I kind of find a piece of myself in each of his songs. Fuel - with Kelly's fresh and honest voice, and the beautiful tunes embedded in rich arrangements - is a CD that I love to put on, regardless if I feel good or bad. Works for me either way. Makes me dance when I'm happy, gives me comfort and hope on a day that's not going so good. What else can you ask for? Way to go, mate!

  • Congrats on a great CD
    author: Tove Pedersen

    Better late than never. Kelly I love the CD. I totally identify with a number of the songs. Keeps me going when the day at the office seems to never end. Great work. See you next time you are in Canada.

  • Just Great
    author: Justin

    I'm not a fan of country music by any means but this CD was a great listen from start to finish. Kelly Pettit realizes just what real musicianship is and knows how to translate it perfectly in his work.

    I not speak English good but I want say something. Many of my friends know of Kelly Pettit. He is popular here. I watched his showtime. He is wonderful! Two days ago I went to Bunshindo DVD/CD place and I hear Kelly's music in speakers. Then I drive and I hear on radio. I am surprised. I saw big display of CD's too. So I bought his CD. It is so great! Thank you Kelly for wonderful Music.

  • You have to buy this CD!
    author: Ted Clarkson, California

    Like most, I love music. That being said, there are still only a handful that completely move me. Kelly Pettit's "FUEL" is one of them. From start to finish, it's just an incredible ride! Catchy and feel good and diverse all in the same album. It is my recommendation of the year! FUEL is in my car, and downloaded onto my ipod and I am so happy to have taken a chance on this CD. I promise you won't be sorry!

  • A Truly Magical Surprise
    author: Simon Smith, Coventry, England

    I have been very lucky to have discovered some great artist by pure chance and Kelly Pettit has got to one of the best undiscovered artists around. From the first note to the last, Fuel is a CD full of superbly crafted songs that you can't help singing along to. Everything you want is there, the happy pop/county ditty to the good old-fashioned 'what happened?' lost love song. My personal favs? Buy Now Pay later, Make It Hollywood and World is Turning. Having said that - I still find something new on every listen. If you like good music this is an album you won't regret investing your hard earned cash in!

  • FUEL
    author: Nanette O'Donnell

    Kelly is a special kind of artist, one that you really should listen to. There is a drive and ambition to his efforts that are rare. Not only does Kelly genuinely come off as if he's doing it because he loves it, but he is exceptionally talented as well. The songs are absolutely tight and yet interesting at the same time, a brilliant cd to put in the car and just drive ;-) It 's a really beautiful cd and I applaud him!!! Pick up a copy of FUEL and draw your own conclusions. ;-)

  • Fuel-truly awesome cd from start to finish! Kelly is brilliant! Please go buy th
    author: Diane

    After my friend Mac introduced me to Kelly's music i knew i had to buy the cd. I am so glad i did! I admit that i have bought cd's in the past and only liked a few songs. This is definately not the case with Fuel. I listen to the cd start to finish. Every song is awesome! I can't just pick one favourite because all the songs are so great that i love them all! I always feel so much better after listening to the cd no matter what kind of a day i have. I listen to Fuel every single day since receiving the cd. I think everyone should have a copy of Fuel. They will not be disappointed! I am looking forward to more of Kelly's music.

  • The Must Have CD Of The Year!!!!!!
    author: Skys

    Fuel is the must have CD of the Year!!!!! Every song on this CD will have you singing along with it!! I started playing Kelly's CD on my show and can't get enough of it!! It is one of my favorites!!! It picks you up and keeps you there!!! It is a must to have this CD in your player at all times!! A must have!!! I can't wait for the next one!!!

  • A musical journey...put in your car and press the gas pedal!
    author: Judes

    There are some albums that you own in your life that you never tire of...Kelly Pettit's FUEL is most definitely one of them. His tunes take you on a musical journey with each and every track. Kelly's reflective lyrics and musicality are clearly showcased, along with excellent mixing and producing by Jerry Wong. To me, a really good song takes you to a place in your memories and emotions that touch on your own life experiences...this album has 15 such songs! Once the listening world knows about FUEL...its going to be a huge FIRE! Definitely, add this to your CD collection, you will not be disappointed!

  • Fuel Rocks!
    author: Trish

    I have a long highway commute everyday, almost an hour each way and I'm always on the lookout for a cd I can put in and really enjoy for a while. Fuel is like that for me.. nonstop good vibes, the kind of songs that make you be-bop along whether you want to or not! My favorites are Sorry Ass, Make it Hollywood and Tired & Blue, but the entire CD truly rocks! :-)

  • AWESOME
    author: Arista Record Label

    I was just surfing itunes and I found this guy and it's awesome! If just more people saw this album it would be huge! If Kelly Pettit had a stock, I would buy 50 million shares because this guy will be BIGGG!!!

  • The real deal- singer, song writer, poet!
    author: Steve Bruce

    Fuel is a piece of work! Kelly's great pop/rock sensibilities distilled into 16 original songs. The kind of independent effort and dedication to quality that's enough to restore even the most jaded listener. Kelly's songs will lift you up if you need a lift; sustain you if you're already up. Do yourself a favor, buy this CD!

  • author: Lorraine

    Great Music Kelly! I am a bartender in a small tavern in the mountains of northern Virginia. A local musician and friend introduced me to FUEL by just handing me the cd and saying, It's yours. I liked it from the moment I popped it into the Cd player on my long drive home from the tavern that night. I have since listened to it over and over and enjoy it more each time. I have passed it along to my daughter who is 17 and she has turned her friends onto Kelly Pettit as well. I wish Kelly the best of Luck in his musical endeavors , truly a talented musician who deserves to be recognized....thanks Mark for the FUEL cd! Lorraine in Va

  • Fuel - go for it!
    author: Svenni Bjorgvins

    The internet is a great place to seek new music and even get in touch with the musician online. Many artist have their own musical page like on Myspace.com where you can listen, read all about them and leave a message. Not all respond to your messages but Kelly Pettit is thought one who does. As a musician myself with my music on the internet I do go around listening to others. After spinning a few of Kelly’s songs on his Myspace page there was no doubt in my mind that I was listening to a great professional and ambition musician and songwriter. Getting to know him abit personally online told me also he is a great guy with his two feets on the ground. Kelly has it all, all the elements to become a “Superstar”. He is a great songwriter and guitarist but first of all in my opinion and the most important, a great singer with a voice that’s unique and only with that and his look’s would be enough to “make it” in the big world of music. When Kelly released his CD “Fuel” I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it, it’s been in my cd player since I got it! Doesn’t that tell you something? Can you remember when you heard some catchy song on the radio with some band you hardly knew and rushed to the next store and bought the album and discovered that the song you heard was the only one out of 12 that was any good? I quess you do but “Fuel” is not that kind of an album. 15 great catchy songs to listen to and you never get bored! A blend of first class Pop and Country music that you can listen to anywhere. If you bring it with you to work it’s like a chocolate box and everyone wants a piece of it! So what are you waiting for? Go get it! Now! Svenni Bjorgvins Musician, songwriter and a producer.

  • A Happy-place vacation!
    author: Kim Churko

    Fuel grabbed and held my attention from start to finish. I could write about each individual song, like the driving rhythm of Someday, the sing-a-long melody of Little Imperfections, or the insightful lyrics of Buy Now Pay Later but I want to write about another aspect of the album. Great music from any era or genre has the ability to transport the listener to another dimension. Kelly's voice, and the songs in FUEL take you away from what is going on in your life for a brief period. It is like a happy-place vacation. Just close your eyes and turn up the volume.

  • Kelly is primed ... with FUEL.
    author: Indie Islands eMagazine

    Our first pop/rock artist in our first pop/rock eMagazine issue - Kelly Pettit. We chose him cause he was super talented ... but FUEL is high octane. Kelly brings his pop rock style to the start line, takes off 0 - 60 in 5.2, and this album is sure to finish the quarter mile in record time, and then some! This is definitely a CD to add to your collection, and Kelly is an artist that is a "must - see" live show! Look for more on Kelly in our March 2007 Issue www.indieislands.com

  • No imperfections on this CD
    author: Waratah Press

    FUEL would have made great company when we drove into the Outback and wrote that book about you. Have loved all four CD's but FUEL has it all, clear vocals, great instrumental support, excellent mix from the studio. Buy it people. Talk About It. Above all, put it in your car.

  • Awesome CD!
    author: Michele from Nanaimo

    Love this CD! I put it in my walkman and go for a run. I get into a sort of trace, then before I know it I'm done my run. I just keep it playing anyway. Number 7 - Hard to breath is my favorite song. Buy it, it's worth it. Every song is cool.

  • Sunshine on CD
    author: Michelle from Utah

    I love the cheerful music on this cd! Kelly has a clean yet complex sound that really appeals to me. The tempo is perfect for walking with or working out with and you'll find it a constant on my ipod! The song "Little Imperfections" is a strong favorite for me. My 4 year old sings along to "Hard To Breath"! In these dreary days of winter Kelly's music brings a little bit of summer into my world-- driving with the top down!

  • Welcome to the Amazing Musical Talents of Mr Kelly Pettit!
    author: Mac

    Far from being one of those albums where each track sounds much like the last, with every song Kelly delivers another aspect of his diverse song writing abilities and musical skills. Prior to buying this CD I was a keen fan and being able to listen at leisure has given me a whole new respect for the man's gift. There's not a song I'd skip through, my surprise favourite being "Hard to breath", now there's a direction I didn't expect this Album to go! Do yourself a favour, don't hesitate. This'll be the best money you spend on music for the year!

  • Fuel : Ok, let’s “Talk about it” !!
    author: Bluesbaby!

    Not sure how I could top my friend Shannon’s review or Mark Clays for that matter but…… This album has 15 wonderfully diverse tracks. I am so glad I purchased it and makes me think how happy I am to have discovered Kelly Pettit. Love the pop/country feel. Love the inclusion of the hamonica violin, mandolin etc….what more can I say but Kelly is an artist to watch out for. Can’t wait for the next one, oh and while I am in a demanding mood I think a full Kelly Pettit Christmas album is called for……perhaps with some more deliciously evil tracks. All the best!

  • Kelly's C.D. is totally over the top!!!
    author: Linda Thornton

    I have had Kelly's cd for three weeks now and have listened to it repeatidly and have enjoyed it more every time. I love the song "Stone after Stone" along with " She's Just Like Summer". A nice vartiety of music, something for everyone. I would highly recommend it to all.

  • FUEL gives fuel to my day everytime I push play!
    author: Garth Allan

    I received FUEL a few days back and it's GREAT! Amazing song writing; Kelly Pettit is an incredible recording artist! Where can I get more of his music? Love the following tracks: Stone After Stone, Hard to Breath, Little Imperfections and She's Just Like Summer. The song that kicks off the album, Talk About It, is really good too. The CD is in my car and I can't stop listening.

  • author: Caroline Turner

    I love to listen to this CD. I have had it now for about 2 weeks and right from the beginning I really enjoyed hearing it. I find myself singing along and tapping my feet and really enjoy the beat. All the songs are so differant. The variety is great and there is something for everyone. My kids love it too and yell at me from the back seat, " Put On Fuel Mom ". Our favorite songs are Stone After Stone, The World Is Turning, and Talk About It. Kelly is a very talented song writer and performer and this CD proves that. I wish him all the best !

  • Mmm. .added to my favorites!
    author: Hagiwara of Niiharu, Japan

    I am lucky to have found this CD!! I have been listening everyday in my car since the day I bought it. The variety of songs starts and ends my days easy. Buy now! It sure will be your favorite. Thank you Kelly!

  • 何度聴いても素晴しい！
    author: Hibiki Arai 　Japan

    一枚のCDでこんなに楽しめたのは初めてです。ジャンルを問わない、魅力的な曲が満載です。どれが好き？と聞かれても迷ってしまいます。映像が心に浮かんでくる歌詞、心にすっと入ってきて、いつまでもそこに留まっているメロディー。私の宝物の一枚になりました。

  • Best album yet!!
    author: Cory Churko

    Wow! and I thought the last album was great. Kelly's music keeps getting better and better. Some very thoughtful and clever lyrics and catchy melodies. Lots of variety in tune selection. My favorite is Little Imperfections. This album went directly in my itunes collection. 16 songs? Amazing!

  • Love it, love it!
    author: Cheryl from BC, Canada

    Just the girl next door from BC here....just wanted to say that I love Kelly Pettit's new cd FUEL! Great lyrics - great music and Kelly's great voice! I really enjoy listening to the different styles of music and hearing the variety of instruments used on this cd. I've heard FUEL so many times already, I'm not sure which is my favourite song. Maybe Make it Hollywood or This is Life, or Talk About it or...well, you get the picture! You'd better grab a couple of Fuel cd's for christmas gifts like I did! And, that's my opinion. Love it!

  • author: Jen Alexander, Calgary, Alberta Canada

    I have followed Kelly's music from the first album and I am impressed each time a new album is released. He is separated from others in this category by his unique, passionate delivery. FUEL is a fun, relatable, feel-good album. It's another great driving, sing along CD.

  • great music needs no description. Just push play and enjoy!
    author: Shannon Ambrose

    With a very pleasing mix of pop and country, Kelly’s debut CD is a treasure and an excellent addition to any CD collection. Featuring collaborations with a host of talented artists, Fuel is a solid collection of 15 tracks guaranteed to please even the harshest critic. Kelly masterfully pulls off perfect country/pop cross over hits with tracks such as “World Is Turning”, “Stone After Stone” – with it’s hint of Celtic influence and wonderful flow - and “Sorry Ass” – showcasing harmonica and steel guitar giving it that “country flair” but with enough pop attitude to garner a slot on any air AC play list. I couldn’t help but get a Bob Dylan feel with “Makes Me Crazy”. Kelly’s vocals, lyrics and overall feel of the song it was easy to picture Kelly standing there ..flipping cue cards a-la Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues video. What has to be THE feel good song of the year, “Little Imperfections” has quickly become a favorite track for me. This sweet little pop song, with a quick tempo, happy upbeat lyrics and a piano adding to the melody will make you smile no matter how bad a day you may have had. Fuel gives you a blend of rockin’ tracks (“Talk About It” and “Someday”) to warm, heartfelt ballads (“Make It Hollywood”, “She’s Just Like Summer” and “Buy Now Pay Later”) to “This Is Life” with a cool jazzy feel. From start to finish, this is a CD that you will want to spin over and over again. Lay back, headphones on, the volume cranked, and let Kelly’s unquestionable talent take you away.

  • "FUEL" is fuel of your living.

  • A wonderful collection of songs
    author: Vadym Gruzyn from Kiev, UKRAINE.

    This is a truly enjoyable collection of songs, very impressive! Great mix of lyrical, romantic sometimes and lively, energetic tracks. You can hear how much the musician has grown from the time of "...windshield". Keep up the good work! Looking forward to a new release soon.

  • Kelly Pettit Fuel. A GREAT CD
    author: Mark Clay

    Once apon a time, albums were full of great songs from start to finish. You could just put the needle on at the beginning and walk away and enjoy it from the first note to the last big crash at the end of the last song. Fuel by Kelly Pettit is a throwback to those days before cds with 3 good songs and 7 tracks of mediocre filler became the norm. There are a variety of sounds. Songs like Talk About It and Someday really rock and I find myself cranking up the cd player in the car. They are those great driving songs I love. There are also melodic heartfelt songs like Buy Now Pay Later and Stone After Stone which are sad and warm and wonderful all at the same time. Kelly has included many of his talented friends on Fuel including Jerry Wong who's imput, contribution and production have made the sound very professional, slick and full. Listening in good headphones promises the listener a world of sound and cleverly arranged guitar, mandolin, harmonica and violin are just a few of the many instruments used throughout the journey through these songs. These all compliment the lyrics and vocals which come together with very good writing to make this one of my favorite cds of all time. I highly recommend buying this cd and it can be found right now at CD BABY.
