Career

Chelcee Grimes has written songs for The Saturdays, Kesha, Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue.

Her first success came with "Million Miles", a song she co-wrote for Kylie Minogue with Danish producers Cutfather (Superstar) in just under an hour, 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.’ [5]

In 2014 she won "Best up and coming new act" at the Juice FM Style Awards.[6] Chelcee Grimes has also written the solo single by Girls Generation superstar Taeyeon “11:11", released through S.M Entertainment on 1 November 2016.

In 2016 she signed a new management deal with 365 Artists, headed by Adam Clough.[7] 2017 sees Chelcee embark on releasing her solo material initially featuring on new albums by Olly Murs (RCA/Sony UK) and Tom Walker (Relentless/Sony UK).
