Although her father is one of the most influential producers in dancehall and reggae culture and her maternal Grandfather is singer Barry Biggs, the young Kelly says, “I will always love music, music is in my blood but I cant dream of beats like my dad, my dad will wake up out of his sleep with a beat, or he just imagines the beats, that is not where my mind is creatively. I visualize looks on the canvas, on the face, thats where my creativity falls.”
“I definitely get my creativity from my dad,” she continued.
