We started Clay and Kelsy Instruments in October, 2021. We are primarily performing artists and producers under the name Clay and Kelsy. As a gender nonconforming couple we feel like we bring a different energy to our instruments in a mainly male dominated industry. We want each instrument we make to feel good and spark creativity by giving users new ways of experiencing their own sonically beautiful moments.
We are thankful and inspired to be able to share this with you and our friends. Subscribe to our email list or follow us on our socials to get updates on new releases, offers, and our music!
Thank you!
