The First Lady of MMG & Blockhouse/Block Entertainment is one of the hardest working women in the industry. She maintains high-profile partnerships with global companies like Ciroc and also has her own non-Profit organization called “Warriors’ Path” dedicated to empowering the youth while sharing her musical gift in the studio and on stage. Kris Kelli’s work ethic, raw talent and experiences are setting her up to take over coveted spots in the music world.
