Born in Chicago, Illinois on January 8, 1967. 

Robert S. Kelly grew up in the projects of Chicago and to see him become successful from a bad environment is just surprisingly. He was raised by a single mother and began singing in his hometown church. One of R. Kelly's big inspiration was his music teacher in the academy he attended, Kenwood Academy. Robert was getting interviewed and he said," She's my second mother. She took me under her wing in high school. She told me I would be a big star."]]> 2017-05-24 12:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173612636 gfields43 https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173615072 Ignition]]> 2017-05-24 13:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173615072 gfields43 https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173615855 I Believe I Can Fly]]> 2017-05-24 13:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173615855 gfields43 https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173616865

After singing on the streets for a time, R. Kelly got his first big break in 1990, when he landed a recording contract with Jive Records. The following year, he released Born into the 90's with Public Announcement, his backup group. The album quickly proved to be a hit, featuring two top R&B singles, "Honey Love" and "Slow Dance (Hey Mr. DJ)." Just as quickly as his album shot to success, Kelly became known for his sexually charged lyrics.In 1993, Kelly continued his meteoric rise with 12 Play, scoring his first No. 1 single on the pop charts with "Bump N' Grind." Lauded as the "King of R&B," Kelly showed that he could also be the "king of the ballad" with 1996's "I Believe I Can Fly." The song, which appeared on the soundtrack for the Michael Jordan movie Space Jam, earned him three Grammy Awards in 1997. Kelly also contributed the song "Gotham City" to the Batman & Robin (1997) soundtrack.]]> 2017-05-24 13:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173616865 fgarcia18 https://padlet.com/fgarcia18/m5k8dqwlcz9u/wish/173979278 He continues to make his own music and live performances.
