Kelly begon toen hij twee jaar was met pianospelen. Nadat hij slaagde voor zijn school in 2002 keerde hij terug naar Manhattan. Door middel van mond-tot-mondreclame kreeg Kelly een netwerk aan producenten. In 2002 schreef hij een nummer dat in een Japanse kledinglijn kwam.

Kelly brak door met het nummer Daddy's Little Girl dat hij schreef voor Frankie J's album uit 2006. Zijn werk maakte een dusdanige indruk op Akon dat deze Kelly in 2007 voorstelde wat nummers te schrijven. Een van die nummers was Forgive Me voor Leona Lewis' eerste album. wat werd geproduceerd door Akon. Een ander nummer was Hold My Hand, voor het derde album van Akon zelf. Omdat het nummer uitlekte. plaatste deze het uiteindelijk niet op zijn album. Het lied is een samenwerking met Michael Jackson.
