Chelsea Trullie Isn’t “Just a Singer” — She’s a Full-Stack Performer

Some vocalists can sing. Chelsea Trullie can deliver. And there’s a difference.

Chelsea, a Cleveland, Ohio–born vocalist and creative artist, has been performing since she was practically a toddler—singing at two, then stepping into classical training by age seven through Cleveland’s Singing Angels and later The Music Settlement of Cleveland. That early discipline didn’t just shape her voice. It shaped her standards. You can hear it in the way she approaches music with control, range, and precision—built for live stages, studio sessions, and everything in between. 

What makes Chelsea stand out isn’t one headline credit—it’s the way her career stacks across multiple worlds without feeling scattered. In live performance, she’s opened for names like Chrisette Michele, Howard Hewett of Shalamar, gospel artist Geoffrey Golden, and jazz pianist Joe McBride. That alone tells you she’s comfortable walking into different audiences and still owning the room.

Then there’s the part a lot of people don’t realize: Chelsea has been doing professional vocal work for a long time. She recorded radio jingles starting at 13, including work tied to the late Tom Kent’s nationally syndicated “Ultimate Party” segment, and she still does voiceover and jingle work today. That kind of consistency doesn’t come from “talent.” It comes from reliability—being the person who shows up ready and nails it. 

Her artistry also lives in theater. In 2024 she starred in The Morning After at Playhouse Square, while also serving as vocal director—an important detail, because it means she’s not only performing the work, she’s shaping the sound of the production. She remains connected to that team heading into the 2025 show as well. 

And yes—Chelsea’s foundation is worship. She has led music in major church settings, formerly as a worship leader at Word Church in Cleveland, and now as music minister at her family church, Keys of the Kingdom Ministries, where she produces an annual Christmas concert and toy drive supporting local shelters and families. It’s not “performing inspirational music.” It’s building community through it.

On the recording side, she’s been featured on “God’s Got My Back,” a gospel single by Michael Calhoun of The Dazz Band, produced under the supervision of Grammy-winning engineer Commissioner Gordon. And she’s also done demo work for songwriter submissions, including tracks submitted to MGK—another signal she can adjust quickly to different styles while keeping the vocal quality high.

Chelsea Trullie is the kind of artist who doesn’t need to be boxed in. She can lead worship, headline a performance, voice a brand, direct vocals, act on stage, and still show up sounding like herself. Unsigned doesn’t mean unknown—it means available. And if the right team gets behind her, she’s the kind of “ready-now” talent labels and productions don’t find every day.
