About R. Kelly
Born as Robert Sylvester Kelly on January 8, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, R. Kelly learned music during his childhood. His music teacher and mentor Lena McLin inspired him to have a musical career. He entered the musical world as the founder and lead singer of Public Announcement. This group became quite popular due to their hip-hop beats, soul and funk styles. In 1989, the group released their first single "Why You Wanna Play Me" on Tavdash Records. As a member of the Public Announcement, R. Kelly released the album, " Born Into the '90s" on January 14, 1992. This album had two Billboard Top 40 hits, like "Honey Love", and "Slow Dance."
He and his friend Marc McWilliams won the TV talent show Big Break. Wayne Williams and Eric Payton noticed his talent. They asked him to sign a recording contract with Jive Records. He was associated with the group till 1993. As a solo artist, he soon became one of the top-selling musical acts of the nineties. His solo debut, "12 Play" became a huge hit. He is known for tracks like "Sex Me", "Your Body's Callin Me", "Bump N' Grind", "You Remind Me of Something", "I Can't Sleep", "Down Low", "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best".
When he was at the pinnacle of his success, R. Kelly decided to team up with another music industry leader, the hip-hop MC Jay-Z. Their collaborative work "The Best of Both Worlds" is still regarded as the best. R. Kelly's music is often described as spiritually inspirational and extremely sexual. Since 2002, he has released a new album every year. His latest album titled, "Double Up" is his eleventh studio album. The album features guest appearances by Swizz Beatz, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Chamillionaire, T.I., T-Pain, Usher, Huey, Ludacris, Kid Rock, Polow Da Don and Keyshia Cole. The Runners, Mysto & Pizzi and Kelly handled the production work.
While he creates a smooth blending of hip-hop beats, soul-man crooning and funk, the most distinctive element of his music is its explicit eroticism that makes him stand apart from the others. He has been honored with many prestigious awards, like the Grammy award for Best R&B Song ("I Believe I Can Fly"), Best R&B Male Vocal Performance ("I Believe I Can Fly") and Best Original Song from A Soundtrack ("I Believe I Can Fly"). He won all the awards in 1997. To witness the brilliant performance of R. Kelly, contact your online vendor and book the tickets for the shows in advance.
