About Clay and Kelsy

Clay and Kelsy are a queer, woman-owned duo based in Los Angeles. We make four things, and to us they’re all the same thing: original music, software instruments, a songwriting app, and hand-painted 3D-printed art, all a little strange, all built to be played with.

We started as musicians, and our songs became interactive worlds you can step inside, like the I am album experience and the Retrospective point-and-click adventure. Our single “Three Little Birds” was featured on Apple TV’s The Morning Show.

That same hands-on spirit runs through everything else. Our synthesizers, the free DEM-Osc and the paid Osc Collection, are built as official NKS partners with Native Instruments, every knob hand-drawn. And Clay and Kelsy Designs brings myth and antiquity into your space: Gorgons, heroes, and ancient symbols, 3D-printed and hand-painted so no two are alike.
