Kelly was born in 1980, the first of three kids, to a Chinese-American mother and Caucasian father. He grew up in Montana, and for 20 years played in bands and held menial jobs there. Now, he lives in Washington, spends his free time in Oregon, loves his wife and dog, makes music under the name Alter Mitty, works in public broadcasting, writes, prints, records, and at this very moment is the happiest he’s ever been.
