Info for Traces
On ‘TRACES’, Michael Patrick Kelly explores the theme of humanity and how different experiences in life shape people and leave their mark. For the album, the artist, who also produces his own albums, collaborated with Grammy Award-winning producer Michael Ilbert, among others. The recordings took place at the legendary Air Studio in London and Hansa Studios in Berlin.
Michael Patrick Kelly: "It's important to me to make real “handmade music” that comes from the heart and not from AI tools. That's why we recorded the album the old-fashioned way, on analogue tape, with world-class musicians. The new songs are based on true stories that inspire courage. For me, every album is a new chapter in which I can grow as a musician and as a person. I am delighted that the TRACES era is now beginning and that, after ten successful years, my collaboration with my label Sony is also being extended."
The Irish-American singer-songwriter has been honoured with platinum and gold awards in Germany and various European countries for his latest albums (‘Human’ 2015, “iD” 2017, ‘B.O.A.T.S’ 2021). ‘B.O.A.T.S’ has been streamed over 400 million times and delivered five consecutive Top 5 radio hits.
In addition to his musical work, Michael Patrick Kelly has been involved in numerous humanitarian projects for over 25 years and was appointed Ambassador for Peace and Justice (SDG #16) of the United Nations in Germany by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in 2024.

Michael Patrick Kelly
His extensive repertoire of hits effortlessly fills two and a half hours of brilliant live atmosphere with ballads, pop and rock songs. It is true, personal and hopeful stories that inspire him to write songs. This is precisely why Michael Patrick Kelly manages to touch people deeply across generations. The upcoming 2026 tour promises more unforgettable concert evenings where the audience can give free rein to their emotions and recharge their batteries.
Irish-American singer and hit songwriter Michael Patrick Kelly was born into a family band, which catapulted him to stardom as a teenager and made him the heartthrob of an entire generation. By the age of 18, he had already written several global hits, sold over 20 million albums, played stadium tours, shared the stage with Pavarotti and performed at the legendary ‘Michael Jackson & Friends’ concert.
He then took a six-year hiatus and lived in silence as a monk in a monastery in France before returning to the music business with an even bigger solo career than before.
His latest solo album, ‘iD’, spent 70 weeks in the charts with radio hits such as “iD” and ‘Roundabouts’ and went platinum. The accompanying tour attracted 500,000 visitors. The charismatic, passionate musician is a natural talent both on stage and on television, and has participated as a coach on ‘The Voice of Germany’ and hosted the popular TV show ‘Sing meinen Song’ several times.
