JackieO. Kelley (aka) JackieO. She is thankful to be known as a God loving, Bible Believing, Breast Cancer Surviving (26 years), Independent, Inspirational Gospel Recording Artist, Songwriter, Musician, Visual Artist and Author.  After singing songs and playing piano in her home town for three decades she decided to pursue her dreams and motivate others to do the same.

​

JackieO. has been teaching music for over 30 years.

​

She also wrote and produced several songs on three CD’s titled “All About You," “Forgiven” along with Forgiven Songs and Devotions book, which has been an inspiration to many.

She has a passion to make music that impacts the world with the message of the Salvation of Jesus Christ.

 

What others say about my music; "JackieO. is a singer's singer" Shelia Belle of the Belle Report one of the most respected gospel music news sources in America says, “She knows how to grab the listener, from note one, she’s captured the hearts of all who hear her music."

 

“Many will enjoy the liberating lyrics of "Letting Go.” Peggy Oliver of TheUrbanMusicScene.com says, "It's clear that JackieO. is a voice of inspiration for today.

 

“Her voice is unparalleled,” as one critique at the 2013 National Quartet Convention (NQC) said , “her going from low notes to high notes is effortless” said another (NQC) “anointed, spirit-filled, fresh” are just a few words that you hear describing JackieO. Kelley and all agree “phenomenal” as the overall result. (NQC September 2013)“
