Kelsie Kimberlin: A Voice for Ukraine and HumanitY

“ANOTHER CHANCE TO LIVE AGAIN”

At Music Mingle, we’ve always believed that music has the power to change lives. It can heal, inspire, and unify people across borders. Few artists embody that belief more deeply than Kelsie Kimberlin, a remarkable American-Ukrainian singer whose voice resonates far beyond the charts and into the heart of a global humanitarian movement. We’ve supported Kelsie’s music for some time, featuring songs like “Perfume” and “Sucker,” each is a testament to her artistic brilliance. But today, we turn our spotlight to a different side of Kelsie, the activist, the humanitarian, and the fearless advocate for Ukraine.

Kelsie’s journey began with a passion for performance, nurtured in childhood choirs and music video sets from the age of eight. By twelve, she was releasing videos that quickly went viral. But it was the brutal invasion of Ukraine in 2014 that lit a deeper fire in her soul. As a proud American-Ukrainian, she found a new purpose: using her music and platform to raise awareness, inspire solidarity, and demand justice for her homeland. In August 2023, Kelsie courageously traveled to Ukraine under martial law. Amidst blaring air raid sirens and drone attacks, she filmed a powerful trilogy of music videos that has since been described as “one of the most impressive narratives of 2023.” These videos are more than art, they are a call to action, a tribute to resilience, and a reflection of a nation’s soul.

Kelsie’s humanitarian work does not end with music. After being urged by military commanders, journalists, and even an aide to the President of Ukraine, she established the Kelsie Kimberlin Foundation (www.kelsiekimberlinfoundation.org). The foundation is designed as a global crowdfunding platform to quickly and effectively provide support to Ukrainians in need, from victims of war and torture to displaced families and wounded soldiers. During her visit, Kelsie witnessed the aftermath of atrocities in Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel, and Kyiv. She spoke with widows, orphans, frontline defenders, and victims of unspeakable brutality. These stories galvanized her mission and solidified her role as a cultural ambassador for peace and justice.

Her work has not gone unnoticed. On April 27, 2025, Kelsie was honored at the iconic Hollywood Museum with two prestigious awards: the United Nations Humanitarian Award and the St. George’s Royal Medal of Honor, the latter issued by King Charles III himself. In a heartfelt acceptance speech, Kelsie dedicated the awards to the Ukrainian people, especially the children and the soldiers who have sacrificed everything for a free and peaceful future. Her advocacy is also deeply personal. Kelsie’s cousin, Andrusha, joined Ukraine’s Armed Forces in 2023 and was tragically killed in action at the age of 21. His story and the countless others like his fuel Kelsie’s unwavering commitment to justice. She has since partnered with international human rights lawyers to pursue a landmark lawsuit under the State Sponsors of Terrorism Act, seeking accountability for the loss of innocent Ukrainian lives.

At Music Mingle, we believe that Kelsie Kimberlin is not just a musician; she is a movement. Her bravery, her talent, and her compassion make her one of the most inspiring figures of our time. We are honored to support her, both as fans and as fellow believers in the power of art to make a difference. To Kelsie, we say this: Thank you for standing tall, for singing loud, and for fighting the good fight. The world hears you, and so do we.

Team Music Mingle stands with you.
