Although born in Pamplona/Spain on the 23rd of December 1981 as the youngest of 12 children, he is an Irish citizen. Soon after his birth his mother Barbara dies from cancer.
The family moves to France, where, as a two year old, he starts to sing with them on stage. During all the travels, Angelo is educated by his father and never steps foot in a normal school. He is also taught to play guitar, percussion and drums by numerous teachers throughout Europe. At the age of seven he is already writing his own songs.
During a concert in Warnemünde/Germany, in 1991, he makes acquaintance with his future wife Kira. The following years the family is constantly playing „the streets“ around the world. In 1993 they sell over 300.000 records at their concerts. In 1994 they release their album „Over the hump“, of which they sell over 3 million copies in Germany. Up to the present day it remains the most successful album ever released in Germany.
They exchange „the streets“ for grand halls and stadiums and with a total of over 20 million albums sold, The Kelly Family becomes one of the most successful bands in Europe. They go on tour throughout Europe and make many records, which are co-produced by Angelo.
In 1996 the single „I can't help myself“, which he writes and produces, becomes a number one hit in 10 countries. 2002, after a long and harsh illness his father Daniel Jerome Kelly, at the age of 71, dies. In the next years, Angelo is constantly on tour and is involved in many different projects.
In 2006 he launches his own record label TEN4ONE Records, releases his début album „I'm Ready“ and tours with his own band throughout Europe.
Today Angelo is married and has three children with his wife Kira.
In this age, in which very few artists write their own songs, he follows an old Singer/Songwriter tradition and with his 25 years, he can already look back at an impressive carrier.
He has just released his 2nd album „Rejoice and be glad“ and is touring a lot this year.
Please is it correct? I tried to write it down as I was listening to it:
Such a beautiful child Singing a song, much joy Dancing with the smile Finally at peace Finally at peace Up there
A prisoner of life Stuck in a golden cage There was no way out Finally at peace Finally at peace Up there
We took a piece of your smile We took a piece of your soul You give us all your heart Finally at peace You're finally at peace Up there
Finally at peace Finally at peace Up there
Thank you for your smile Thank you for your song and dance See you in a while Finally at peace Finally at peace Up there

Hola Angelo!! I have read on your page about the "true unplugged" concerts in Luxemburg. Woooow!! It sounds really good!! I think it would be a great success because you have an amazing voice and good qualities for improvisation ;-). Good luck!!
Hallo Angelo! Ich hoffe, dass ihr gut wieder von Madrid nach Hause gekommen seit. Leider ist die schöne Kino Tour von dir auch schon wieder zu Ende. Das geht alles viel zu schnell. Danke nochmal, dass die Dvd nicht "nur" in Köln vorgestellt wurde, sondern auch in ein paar mehr Städten. Vielen Dank, dass auch Hamburg dabei war. Es war nämlich ein sehr schöner Abend. Die DVD ist auch sehr schön. Ich schaue sie sehr oft. Leider dauert es noch so lange bis zur "Traveller Tour". Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß bei der Vorbereitung. So, dann hoffe ich, dass du dich nicht erst im September wieder meldest, sondern dass du dich auch in den nächsten Wochen mal hören lässt. Wie wäre es dann mal wieder mit einer Videobotschaft "Questions and Answers"??? Wünsche dir und deiner Family schöne Tage, denn deine Kinder haben ja jetzt auch Ferien:) Bleib so wie du bist und alles Gute wünscht Ulrike
