Coleman Kelly is a dynamic musician, composer, and creative visionary from Utah, redefining excellence in the arts. Gifted with absolute pitch at just 11 years old, Coleman’s natural talent and relentless drive have propelled him to achieve extraordinary milestones. Under the guidance of Armen Sahakyan, he is diligently working on mastering the piano and pushing the boundaries of his craft.

​

In 2024, Coleman made history at the NAACP ACT-SO Competition as the first participant to write and perform an original classical composition. His piece, Yarns of the Infinite: Seed to Root, co-written with his father, Samuel Kelly, is a modern classical masterpiece tied to the science fiction fantasy series Yarns of the Infinate (YOTI), where Coleman also serves as a co-writer.

​

Coleman’s father, Samuel Kelly, is also his mentor, sharing his 40 years of experience in music, storytelling, and character creation. With an unorthodox teaching style, Samuel is passing down his wealth of knowledge, shaping Coleman into a multifaceted artist and innovator.

​

Coleman’s academic achievements, including a 4.1 GPA, reflect his dedication to excellence. His passion for music is matched by his work on Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Opus 26, a testament to his technical skill and ambition.

​

Beyond music, Coleman is a skilled video editor, collaborating with his father on impactful advertisements for their family business. He also leads Maps and Places, an arm of Beetle-Go, where he combines music with products to create unique experiences.

​

Coleman’s expertise extends to sound design, movie scoring, and music production. With bi-weekly lessons from Drew Livermore, he explores tools like Cubase, Arturia Pigments, and Xfer Serum, ensuring he stays at the forefront of innovation.

​

Coleman Kelly is not just a rising star—he is a force to be reckoned with, poised to leave an indelible mark on the world of music and storytelling.
