Kerry Jane Ellis (born 6 May 1979) is an English actress and singer who is best known for her work in musical theatre and subsequent crossover into music.
Born and raised in Suffolk, Ellis began performing at an early age before attending Laine Theatre Arts from the age of 16.

Ellis made her first professional stage appearance in 1998
and went on to make her West End debut in the 2001 revival of My Fair Lady
as Martine McCutcheon's understudy in the role of Eliza Doolittle.
After meeting Queen guitarist Brian May in 2002,
she landed the role of Meat in the original London cast of We Will Rock You
and has subsequently played lead roles in West End musicals Les Misérables,
Wicked (which also took her to Broadway), Oliver! and Cats
as well as appearing in national tours and concert productions of musicals
like Miss Saigon, Chess, The War of the Worlds and RENT.
Ellis, who has received several awards and nominations for her performances,
has become recognised as the First Lady of West End musicals.
She has also worked sporadically in film and television.

Ellis had been expanding her repertoire as a solo artist in collaboration with May since 2002.
She has released three studio albums Anthems (2010),
which reached number 15 on the UK Albums Chart,
the self-titled Kerry Ellis (2014) and "Golden Days" as well as an extended play Wicked in Rock (2008)
and a live album Acoustic by Candlelight (2013).

In addition to headlining solo concert tours like Anthems: The Tour and The Born Free Tour,
and singing in concerts across the world,
Ellis also appears as a featured artist on several albums and is featured on various cast albums.
She also involves herself in charity work for the Born Free Foundation
with May and is the patron of several arts organizations.

Her renditions of songs performed by Freddie Mercury made my hairs stand on end.

combined with the brilliance of Brian May, they both produced Musical perfection to the delight of the audience!
