Kelly Allen is the cool force with the sharp edge behind The Smoke and Ice Podcast—a bold, culture-rich podcast born from two passions: bourbon and cigars.

Hailing from Buffalo, NY, with artistic roots stretching through Atlanta, GA, Kelly now lives and thrives in Raleigh, NC, where she continues to carve out a creative lane all her own.

A powerhouse of presence, Kelly has been in the music game since she was 13. She’s penned lyrics, sung backup, hit the stage, stepped into film, and is currently crafting her long-awaited solo music project. Her voice isn’t just heard—it’s felt.

But Kelly doesn’t stop at music. She’s also the midday voice of the people, serving as the air personality for The Midday Energy Rush on internet radio Positive365.net, where she brings rhythm, realness, and uplifting energy to the mic Monday through Friday. Whether it’s conversation or curated sound, Kelly knows how to hold an audience.

Smoke and Ice isn’t just a podcast—it’s a mood, a vibe, a lifestyle. It’s what happens when honest conversation meets complex flavor and grown-up indulgence.  Kelly brings the “ice”—cool composure, clear insight, and a vibe that’s effortlessly smooth. 

With every episode, Kelly creates a space where truth is welcome, filters are off, and nothing is off limits. They blend culture, identity, relationships, and real-life chaos into a lounge-like atmosphere that’s both thought-provoking and wildly entertaining.

If you're looking for safe, this ain’t it. If you’re looking for real, you’ve come to the right place.
