Kelila Ranta

Hello, I’m Kelila Ranta and I’m a singer songwriter. As a chronic overthinker and ruminator, I find solace in writing about my crushes, my shortcomings, my grievances and all things in between. At the moment, I’m particularly inspired by the pop rock sounds and aesthetics of my childhood–Think Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne or Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in The Simple Life. 

I recently put out my debut single titled “princess of the dive” which was inspired by my real life experience in the service industry and a fascination I had with a particular regular at the bar I worked at. I was completely fixated on what people thought of me that came and drank at my bar and was certain that people looked down on me because of my job. On top of this probably not being true, those projections started rooting in other relationships in my life. Writing this song was a part of that realization process for me and was the silver lining of having to do the work to heal those insecurities. 

I have several more songs scheduled to release this year and am working on a full length album set to release in 2027. Excited you’re here, thank you for stopping by!
