Louis York – Grammy-Nominated Songwriting & Production Duo, Artists & Songwriter City Partners
Louis York — the creative partnership of Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony — is a Grammy-nominated, genre-defying duo whose music blends pop, R&B, country, and soul with unmatched artistry. Named after a combination of their hometowns (Kelly from New York City, Harmony from East St. Louis), Louis York has earned praise from Billboard, Los Angeles Times, and other major outlets for their innovative sound and bold, thought-provoking lyrics.
As artists, the pair has released the EP trilogy Masterpiece Theater: Act I, Act II, Act III, followed by their acclaimed full-length debut American Griots in 2019. The album’s singles — including “Don’t You Forget” and “How Will I Feel” — climbed into the Top 15 on the U.S. Urban Radio chart and earned them appearances on 3rd Hour Today, PBS NewsHour, CNN, TEDx Nashville, and multiple Grand Ole Opry performances. With millions of streams worldwide and sold-out shows both in the U.S. and abroad, Louis York has cemented themselves as one of music’s most dynamic duos.
Individually, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony are two of the most accomplished hit songwriters and producers of the last two decades, penning and producing chart-toppers such as:
