Orissa Kelly — Biography

Orissa Kelly stands out as one of the globe's rare practitioners of fire-footed archery. Hailing from Watford, England, her journey began with gymnastics at the tender age of three, eventually leading her to represent Great Britain in the sport. At seventeen, with university on the horizon, she made a bold pivot, deferring her studies to embrace the allure of the circus.

Following a successful stint performing aerial silks, Orissa felt a pull towards an even more extraordinary and distinctive pursuit. In April of 2015, she acquired her first bow and arrow. Taking herself to a cricket pitch, she embarked on a self-taught endeavor into an unprecedented skill. Dedicating six hours daily for six months, she honed her craft, developing the foot archery act that would ultimately carry her across continents.

Her performances have since graced audiences before the Queen of England, featured in the major Hollywood production 'Wonder Woman,' and seen her traverse the globe twice with her essential companion, her bow. In 2020, Orissa set her sights on the United States, making her American television debut on 'The Go Big Show.' Her online presence has flourished, boasting over a million followers across her social media channels and accumulating more than 100 million views on her content.

She has been highlighted on platforms such as Supercar Blondie and Ozzy Man Reviews, and earned the title 'The Queen of Archery' from The Lad Bible. Embracing her outlook, she often states, “the future is bright for those who believe it is!” As of January 2026, her Instagram following stands at 616,000, with 1.7 million on TikTok, and 18,500 subscribers on her YouTube channel.
