Kelly Diane Willis, born on October 2, 1968, in Lawton, Oklahoma, is an American country music singer-songwriter. Raised by her father, a U.S. Army colonel, and influenced by her mother's love for music, Willis began singing at age nine following her parents' divorce. She joined the rockabilly band Kelly Willis & the Fireballs in high school. In 1989, she signed with MCA Records after impressing producer Tony Brown. Her debut album Well Travelled Love was released in 1990 and featured songs like "Little Honey" and "I Don't Want to Love You (But I Do)". Willis' music was also included in the soundtrack of the 1991 film Thelma & Louise. In 1994, she left MCA and later released independent projects like What I Deserve in 1999.
