KEle

Kele is a given name used in various cultures and, occasionally, a surname. The name is most widely recognized in popular culture through Kele Okereke, an English singer and songwriter who is the lead vocalist of Bloc Party.

Bloc Party formed in London in 2002, and their debut album Silent Alarm (2005) was critically acclaimed and helped popularize the post-punk revival. The band followed with A Weekend in the City (2007) and Intimacy (2008), establishing Okereke as a prominent figure in early- to mid-2000s indie rock.

In addition to his work with Bloc Party, Kele Okereke has pursued solo material, releasing The Boxer (2010) as his first solo album and engaging in a number of collaborations and projects thereafter. The name Kele, while not tied to a single origin, appears in various cultures and may be used as a given name in its own right or as a nickname.
