I always suspected that I perceived things differently to others but never realised there was an actual name for it.

Approximately 4% of the world's population experiences synesthesia, a fascinating condition where senses intertwine in unique ways. Juliet Kelly recently discovered that she is among this group, inspiring her to explore the connection between music and colour.

Her latest release, Colour Coded, is a collection of four songs, each representing a different colour: purple, yellow, white, and gold. This captivating EP showcases Juliet’s vocal talents and features the elegantly simple guitar work of Rob Updegraff.

Juliet says “I always suspected that I perceived things differently to others but never realised there was an actual name for it. This discovery led to me using my “superpower" to write some new songs. People are unlikely to hear what I hear, but I’m hoping that they’ll enjoy these simple, timeless songs."

An acclaimed jazz singer and songwriter, Juliet has forged her own unique niche on the jazz scene with her distinctive velvety voice and her ability to write charming original songs. The London-based vocalist has worked with outstanding musicians (Courtney Pine, Seb Rochford, Yazz Ahmed) and performed at clubs and festivals throughout the UK with sold out concerts in Europe and beyond.

Colour Coded is available now on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms.
