About Kéllé Bryan
Kéllé Bryan - born March 12th 1975 in East London - was sure of her future in entertainment from an early age - winning a junior Miss World competition at only two years old. Aged 11, she joined the prestigious Italia Conti School, where she completed 8 years of performing arts and qualified as a dance teacher. One night whilst clubbing (under age!), Kéllé and her schoolmate Louise Redknapp met Denis Ingoldsby, a music producer, who was in the midst of forming a girl band. She auditioned and that band later became "Eternal" – Britain’s most successful R&B group of all time. The band went on to achieve 15 top 15 hits, several Brit Award nominations, MOBO's and Smash Hits Awards to mention but a few. After splitting from Eternal, Bryan signed to Mercury Records and released her debut solo single "Higher Than Heaven". Bryan's second solo single "I Wanna Know" and debut album "Breakfast In Bed" were due for release in 2000, but were canceled because Bryan was diagnosed with lupus and was too ill to promote them. Over 9 million album sales, 4 world tours and a solo top 15 hit later, Kéllé moved on to pastures new and presented her own music show on Nickelodeon; the BAFTA nominated "N-list". In 2000, after taking kickboxing lessons to help regain her health following a diagnosis with lupus, Kéllé emerged triumphant from two kickboxing fights and was also given the great honour of becoming a celebrity patron of the Saint Thomas Lupus Trust. In the same year, Kéllé launched "Red Hot Entertainment", an artist management and development company. 2005 saw her return to her acting roots and when Kéllé completed work on her first film "The Virus" (Chris Holden films). After spending the Summer of 2006 gracing our screens on ITV's "Love Island", where she finished in second place, Kelle returned to her first love: theatre. After playing Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady" at the Manchester Palace Theatre, Kéllé went on to star in John Godber's critically acclaimed "Bouncers" and "The Brothers" by Angie Le Mar, as well as delighting audiences young and old, playing the title role in Cinderella in Telford and Buxton. Kéllé flexed her presenting muscles for the first time since 2000's "The N-List" by hosting the "Urban Music Awards" in 2006 and ITV's interactive quiz show "Glitterball" in 2007.
