Chelcee Grimes (born 8 May 1992) is a British singer-songwriter and television presenter from Aigburth, Liverpool, England,[1] and also a footballer currently playing for Merseyrail Ladies FC.[2]

Music career[]

Grimes' first songwriting success came with "Million Miles", a song she co-wrote for Kylie Minogue with Danish producers Cutfather, inspired by being away from her family. She recalls:

‘I just sang ‘I feel like I’m a million, million, million, feel like I’m a million miles away ...’ And that was the hook. I could have chosen any subject, they just played me the track they’d built for her sound and asked for lyrics and a top line, but that was what came to me.’[3]

Chelcee Grimes has written songs for The Saturdays, Kesha, Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue. At the age of 18, she shared the stage with Jessie J. at Liverpool's Cavern Club,[4] having previously played professional football for Liverpool FC and Everton.[5] Chelcee has written on releases by X Factor winner Louisa (So Good), Kylie Minogue (Million Miles), BoA (First Time) and The Saturdays (Walking Through The Desert), also racking up song-writing credits for Dua Lipa (Warner UK), Kesha, Mic Lowry (Decca UK), Stanaj (Republic) and Chris Lane (Big Loud Mountain Nashville US).

In 2014, she won "Best up and coming new act" at the Juice FM Style Awards.[6]

In 2020, Chelcee teamed up with singer-songwriter Ollie Green and dance producer Franklin (Ben Duncombe) in the dance-pop band Vize Verza, releasing the singles "Temporary" and "Closure" via Ultra Records.[7][8]
