About Kurt Kelly:

Born and raised in Michigan, Kurt Kelly found himself in the lime-light at a very young age. Having been born into a politically active family and having endless talents and interests of his own, by the age of 10 he found himself, not only, reporting the news; but, also singing, dancing, acting, and performing in a band.

With the talent and drive he was already expressing, it's no wonder he went on to become one of the most recognizable and sought-after entertainment personalities in the business- having been heard by a global audience of over 100-million people.

Kurt Kelly's legendary, award-winning vocal talent and presence both on and off the air rocketed him into television, radio, film, and live performances all over the country. Couple his talent with his "get it right the first time" mentality, he's earned the opportunity to work with everybody from The Rolling Stones to the White House.

From his beginnings in radio and television to starting his own company, Live Video, Inc., Kurt Kelly is a force to be reckoned with within the entertainment community.
