The single “Desperate Measure" is showcased in Out of Synch, a VHI movie, while her second video “A Lot of Little Things" will feature former Roseanne star Tom Arnold.

Brock’s own label DitY Records (Do it Yourself) is named quite appropriately. Her determination is more than impressive. A performer who proclaims she is not able to give her all to a song unless she is emotionally attached to it. “I love to sing, I love to perform and I love to write songs. There’s really nothing else in the world I’d rather be doing," says the singing sensation.

So Close is an extreme listening pleasure, and a must-have for fans of good music. With hits “Desperate Measures", “You’d Be Mine", “So Close", and “You’ve Come a Long Way", this CD is full of energy and is destined to be successful.

Kelly Brock is a bright light on the West Coast for the Canadian music scene and is well on her way to enjoying a very successful career.
