Kelly Moneymaker has been a professionally represented musician since age 14. She is best known as a member of platinum-selling trio Exposé, whose singles have collectively spent 207 weeks on Billboard’s The Hot 100, had more Top 10 Hits than The Supremes, and was named one of Billboard’s Top 10 Girl Groups of All-Time.

Ms. Moneymaker also co-wrote and co-produced a soundtrack album for NBC’s Days of Our Lives and her music has been placed in over 25 other media productions. She has shared stages or studios with Todd Rundgren, Enya, Diana Ross, George Clinton, Jewel, Meatloaf, Ringo Starr, Keith Urban, Mike Post, Johnny Winter, Mandy Moore, and more. Ms. Moneymaker broke into the Billboard Chart as an independent artist, and won New Music Weekly's Best AC40 Song with "Can't Live Without Your Love".

Kelly  remains active within the music industry as a songwriter-artist-producer  and mentor.  She constantly updates her music business education in order to evolve with the rapid-fire progress of technology and trends.  She obtained a Music Business Certificate from Berklee School of Music, a Bachelor of Creative Media Production degree and a Master of Creative Enterprise degree at Massey University, Wellington, NZ.

Kelly's Arctic Samoan roots have inspired her passion for indigenous storytelling and the environment, which led to her directing the Multiple Award-Winning documentary, VAKA, which premiered on the World Stage at the UNFCCC's COP 25 and was featured at the Crysophere Pavillion at COP26.  The short doco is about Tokelau’s use of cultural wisdom and modern technology in response to climate change, which was made with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade NZ (MFAT), the Ministry of Climate Oceans Resilience Environment Tokelau (MiCORE) and in close cooperation and meaning-making with the people of Tokelau.

As a Social Entrepreneur, Kelly's intention moving forward is to create and disseminate positive media for indigenous cultures and children.  Her current project, Drum Song: The Rhythm of Life, is a documentary about Indigenous climate adaptation in her homeland of Alaska.  It is being co-created with rural native communities and Arctic researchers.  

Kelly's dream production team includes Emmy Award Winning DP, Tom Trainor, Production Coordinator + Photographer, Dennis Davis aka @EskimoFixer (whose work will soon be featured at the Smithsonian Institute), Gabe Derrick, Jayme Dittmar, and Phillip Blanchett of the Award-Winning Inuit Soul Band, Pamyua.  

Kelly says, "I am truly humbled by this opportunity. To be trusted by the local communities to assist with preserving their indigenous knowledge and stories is an honor beyond measure."
