Bio

Kela (like “hella”) Parker is Berkeley-born “art folk” original—grounded, offbeat, and quietly magnetic. She’s the whip-smart professional with a strange edge, the dry oddball hiding a big heart, and the unexpected emotional center of the room.

Now you know

Movies I’ve watched in excess of ten times each: ‘Cry Baby,’ ‘Legends of the Fall,’ ‘Adventures in Babysitting,’ ‘Labyrinth,’ ‘Goonies,’ ‘Princess Bride’
Books I’m currently reading: ‘The Jazz of Physics,’ ‘Wild LA,’ ‘Hermetic Magic’
Never have I ever: Sung karaoke. Yes, and I’m a singer. Oh okay except ONCE. And it was the most un-karaoke song ever (“River” by Joni Mitchell. The DJ had to take several minutes aside to find it and pull it up for me).
Favorite color: Has always been and always will be orange.
Cats or dogs: CATS.
Desert island food: avocados. Because then you can grow an avocado tree from the pit and you’re all set.
