Kelly Knecht

Contract Administrator

Kelly is pleased to have been a member of the Encompass Music team since January 2021. Originally from the Midwest, Kelly attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she received her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. During her university studies, she sang in numerous opera productions, but also was a member of the Marching Illini, a 400-piece historic marching band, in which she played mellophone. During this time, Kelly discovered her interest in music administration and soon fell into the niche world of music contracting. Having moved to southern California to escape brutal Chicago winters, she is very excited to continue her work in music contracting here as a Contract Administrator at Encompass with much more sun.

With a passion for travel, Kelly enjoyed her time as a Flight Attendant for a major U.S. airline with her travels taking her everywhere from Omaha, NE to Beijing, China. In her free time, she enjoys personal travel, keeping up her tap dance skills, and biking along and spending time at the beach.

With a love for the movies and a shameless show binge-er, Kelly loves doing her part to help movies and TV come alive through the power of music. She is proud to work alongside the best in the business.
