Chelsko EPK

---

 Chelsea Nellie AKA Chelsko is an American actress, singer, songwriter, and recording artist. Born and raised by a Christian family in Malibu, California, Chelsko was classically trained in 

music as a child before discovering a love for the stage. In 2009, she headed to Boston to train in theatre and spent most of her education studying and performing in plays and musicals. In 2013, Chelsko performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, the largest performing arts festival in the world, which made her passion for the arts that much deeper. 

After receiving a BA in Theatre Arts, Chelsko relocated back to California where she began her professional career as a performer. During this time, she appeared in Revenge, Funny Or 

Die, Faking It, Family Dinner, and Expelled while also releasing lyrics she had been discreetly writing for years. With the abundance of ambition, talent, and drive she demonstrated, Chelsko was able to create her first professionally recorded original song and music video in only a month's time. This music video opened the doors for many collaborations with singers, songwriters, and influential icons in the music industry all over Los Angeles. 

In 2016, Chelsko completed her first original single and since then, she has released five singles and two cover songs on iTunes, Spotify, VEVO, SoundCloud, and other streaming platforms. 

In 2018, Chelsko has an eye-opening experience while filming MTV’s Ex On The Beach in Hawaii. She realized then that it was not only her responsibility but her calling to be an example to the thousands of young women watching and looking up to her. After MTV and many challenging life experiences that followed, she changed the course of her life and recommitted herself to her faith and her music. In 2019, Chelsko decided to cross over to Contemporary Christian music and re-define herself as a Christian artist. It became her mission to be a walking and talking example of turning to Christ and following wholeheartedly despite past mistakes and shortcomings. 

After this decision and by the grace of God, Chelsko was cast in Disney's ENCORE which was released in January 2020. During this experience, she was able to spend time with other believers and use her artistic skills to honor the Lord. 

The unexpected contrast of her character as an American sweetheart, her skills as an EDM/pop artist, and her tenacity in living, loving, and singing for Christ alone has set Chelsko apart and has put her in the perfect position to be one of America’s next influential female artists while also helping young men and women everywhere redirect their vision towards the God who has blessed her immeasurably. 

Chelsko has worked with and been sponsored by companies such as DeLeon, Flattummy, DIFF Eyewear, Fashion Nova, Pretty Little Thing, Women’s Best, Shein, FabFitFun, Luli Fama, and more. She is an Executive Consultant for M.A.D. Studio, a company that helps equip young performers with the tools they need to succeed in the entertainment industry.
