American Singer-Songwriter, Kelly Brock, is "Sunny Bleau". Sunny Bleau is originally from Scottsdale, AZ but now resides in Oxford, MI. The sultry, gregarious, and personable woman called "Sunny Bleau" is known for her straightforward lyrics, passionate performances, strong vocals, and playful personality. Kelly was given the nickname "Sunny" when she was younger. 

When she was in high school, she sang with the high school praise band. One of her youth leaders suggested she learn the guitar and lead the youth praise band, so Sunny’s dad gave her a guitar for her 16th birthday. She very quickly learned a hand-full of chords. Sunny had always been a writer of poems and short stories. In college, she studied theatre and loved writing 1-act and full-length plays. 

In 2019, Sunny met Producer and Guitarist, Nicholas Cocco, and the two began writing songs. Sunny started performing alongside Nic at Senior Homes in the Detroit area where she would sing jazz and blues standards and play the kazoo... the gateway drug that would open her up to the harmonica! Now, Sunny incorporates her passionate harmonica solos into their recorded music and live stage shows.
