The Princess of Southern Soul Talks with DJ Pressure

Who is WEST LOVE?

Kelsie Davis-West is known as the “Party Starter”. A natural-born Sagittarius on December 1, 1987, in Valdosta, Georgia. Considering herself adventurous with her personal life, West states she is very down-to-earth and very expressive about her wants and needs. It is safe to say that in food West is not as adventurous. West has accomplished building her own family with Mr.West and her two beautiful boys Jabarri who is 15 and Kingston is 3 years old. West is the baby of her two other siblings who are sisters, Keandra and Kourtney.

Charles and Vivian Davis, West’s father and mother, raised her in a Christian home with a military background. Her father was a deacon and her mother was a deaconess in their family church. Her mother was an RN and her father was a very successful entrepreneur helping his community with disability claims. West grew up with a strong work ethic background.

Early Rising Star

Discovered talent at 3 by her daycare provider Mrs. Mary Moye, she had begun to train West with her vocals by practicing the song “People Get Ready’. West started touching people all over with her vocals. It really didn’t hit her until she was 18 that she wanted to lead a career in singing. Her support system has always been a strong factor in her choice to sing as a career.

West began singing at an early age in the choir, local churches, community events, talent shows, schools, and other events that brought the people together. Through her performance, West loves to spread love through her positivity and uplifting spirit. She loves to use her voice to uplift the community. West reached #1 on the Blues Music Billboard charts with her song “Work It” in May of 2023.

Released in 2018, West’s first single “Keep Pushing”. This song inspired her through her own personal experience with depression which lead to the need to want to help others fight through their trials and tribulations. Releasing other music like “Stop Looking”, “You Betta Go”, “It’s the Weekend”, “Reach”, “Work It”, “Shake It Baby”, “The Mac”, “This Feeling”, “Meet Me at the Trailride”, and “Cowgirl Ride”, West continues to blow our minds.

WEST LOVE and The 478 Band

West Love started performing with “The 478 Band” which started in nightclubs, many weddings, and several festivals. She had two experiences that really stood out with the band and they were performances in Dalton in Tri-State and in Detroit at the Aretha Franklin Theater. The Tri-State was her first largest performance which opened the door for future performances. Gaining a taste for Detroit, West had only done a singing contest in Detroit, which now her a regular.
