Since many developers seem intent on using the ARTIST tag :P, I prefer 
to try to use it to my advantage.  Here is now I would tag the above:

ARTIST=Kellee
PERFORMER=Kelee
PERFORMER=Dave Audé
PERFORMER=Stephen Levy

Or if the guests play a large part, something like this would do:

ARTIST=Kellee (feat. Dave Audé & Stephen Levy)
PERFORMER=Kelee
PERFORMER=Dave Audé
PERFORMER=Stephen Levy

In other words, I use ARTIST as a summary field.  It especially helps 
with classical recordings, where a given track may have PERFORMERs, 
COMPOSERs, ARRANGERs, CONDUCTORs, etc. - any of which (or a combination) 
I may choose to use as the ARTIST.
