Singer-songwriter Kellis grew up in Needles, California, during the ‘80s and ‘90s, where the movie La Bamba hit him as hard as it hit the big screen. “All the Indian kids in the back of the bus sang it, when the bus driver put it on the radio...I always wanted to be a rock star, ever since I first saw an MTV video by Dire Straits called ‘Money for Nothing.’”
Kellis - a semifinalist in the 2008 San Diego Magazine Song Competition – self-released his first EP, Doodles. “I write lyrics with a folk twist and perform at open mikes. I’m a poet that remains below the great and ‘wreckognizes’ everything above. I have to bring it like this: I love broken hearts ‘cause, as the saying goes, if it ain’t broken, why bother fixin’ it.”
