MIXTAPE GENIE
Send me 3 prompts, any artform, and I’ll deliver you an hour of experimental listening to take you on a wild ride..
Your prompts might be a favourite/featured track, composer or instrument; words, phrases, a page of a book; an image or link.. no limits on format but you only get 3 so choose wisely!
Your mix will go live as a public link on an agreed date. I’ll also share it:
• on my socials with any requested tags
• to my mixtape subscriber feed
• via my monthly newsletter Ruthless original

Kelly Lovelady is—among other things—such a clever and adventurous listener. Lots of strange, unfamiliar and brilliant music on her latest mixtape, as usual…
Leo Chadburn, composer & performer
Are you an early career conductor with q’s about our weird world? A composer-creator looking for conductor feedback on ensemble scores or sketches? Or a producer of experimental/fringe projects in need of a second opinion on a project, challenge or idea?
SOUNDING BOARD
This is your opportunity to talk it out with me in a 1-hour video coaching call. I’ve been there, lived it and I’m listening.
I offer online mentoring to early career and aspirational conductors; consultation to independent producers; and realtime score feedback to composers. I’ll share my observations/provocations and together we’ll go on a magical mystery tour of possibility..
I realise many of us are experiencing financial hardship so I also have a limited number of complimentary sessions available each month for low income creatives embarking on their first session with me.

Kelly’s good and very detailed. Young composers—and even old composers—will learn things from her.
ANDREW FORD, COMPOSER, WRITER & BROADCASTER
Looking for a Project Conductor, Guest Conductor or Musical Director for your performance or recording project? Need a Cover Conductor or one-off rehearsal cover for your regular gig? Or are you a singer who’d benefit from a repertoire coaching with someone who knows the full score?
CONDUCTED PROJECTS
I have 20+ years industry experience as a creative visionary and self-starter across the orchestral and opera sectors.
While much of my career focus has been around contemporary repertoire and composer collaboration, I’m very open to all musical styles, periods, genres, instrumental combos and sonic possibilities!
I have diverse repertoire knowledge, my appetite for musicmaking is voracious and I’m available for long- and short-term projects worldwide in 2025 and beyond.
Kelly Lovelady conducted with masterful sensitivity throughout. Her carefully considered programming makes abundant conceptual sense. It was one of the most remarkable musical experiences of my year.
