A little about Kelly:
“Kelly Rutledge is an accomplished Recording Engineer, Producer, Songwriter, and former major label A&R Executive. She began her career at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, where she became the only female staff engineer, working with icons like Elton John, Rick Rubin, and T Bone Burnett. She was later recruited by industry legend Ron Fair at Virgin Records (Christina Aguilera, Black Eyed Peas), where she learned the art of pop vocal production and contributed to major campaigns at Capitol Music Group, like Bastille, Katy Perry and Don Henley. As A&R Executive and Staff Producer at Capitol Records, she signed and developed Maggie Rogers (Grammy awarded Best New Artist) and Cold War Kids.
After stepping away from Universal to focus on songwriting and production, she made a name for herself in Nashville writing country records before moving to London.
Now based in Nevada City, CA, she is building an exciting music hub—Madcap Records—to nurture new talent, paying forward the mentorship and experience she gained throughout her career.”
