Singer-songwriter Josh Kelley began writing songs while a student at the University of Mississippi. After posting MP3s of his songs on the internet, he was contacted by an A&R rep for Hollywood Records. Kelley eventually signed with the label, and his debut album, For the Ride Home, was released in 2003. One of the tracks, "Amazing," was included on the soundtrack of Raising Helen, a film starring Kate Hudson. The exposure pushed the song to the Top 10, and For the Ride Home was re-released in 2004 with an additional bonus disc containing acoustic performances and two unreleased songs. Continuing his recording career, his songs have been featured on episodes of TV shows such as Smallville, Brothers and Sisters, The Hills and Scrubs.
In 2009, he signed to the MCA imprint of the Universal Music Group Nashville. His first album for MCA is scheduled to be released in late 2010. Kelley co-wrote "Georgia Clay," the project's first single, with his brother, Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley, and producer Clint Lagerberg.
Josh Kelley is married to actress Katherine Heigl.
