Michael Patrick Kelly
Irish-American pop singer, musician, and composer Michael Patrick Kelly became an international sensation in the mid-'90s as the youngest member of the folk-pop family band the Kelly Family. After issuing his debut solo album, In Exile, in 2003, Kelly withdrew from the public eye and spent several years living in silence as a monk in a French monastery. His return to the music business in the 2010s has yielded gold- and platinum-selling efforts like Human (2015), iD (2017), and B.O.A.T.S (2022). He is most popular in Germany and Switzerland.
Best known as the third youngest member of the eccentric, award-winning, traditional German/Irish band the Kelly Family (also known as "the Kellys"), Michael Patrick Kelly, who also goes by the name Paddy Kelly, was born in Dublin, Ireland on December, 5, 1977 to American teacher Daniel Jerome Kelly and American dancer Barbara Ann Kelly. Kelly spent his formative years busking and performing with his multi-generational family troupe throughout Europe and the United States. By the time the mid-'90s rolled around, the Kelly Family had become an international tour de force, and the multi-talented "Paddy" had become a bit of a teen idol. Overwhelmed by the media attention and overall stresses of public life, Kelly quit the family business in 2004 (after issuing his debut solo album In Exile the year prior under the Paddy Kelly moniker) and spent six years in a monastery in France, where he sought to gain some personal perspective after a largely nomadic early life. In 2011 he decided to return to writing and recording music, and in 2015 he issued his second solo outing, the gold-selling Human, via Sony Music. Ruah, Kelly's third album, appeared in September 2016, followed in 2017 by the platinum-selling iD, which included the hit title cut featuring German reggae star Gentleman. 2022's B.O.A.T.S (an acronym for "based on a true story") became his biggest outing yet, with the singles "Beautiful Madness," "Throwback," and "Blurry Eyes" achieving international gold and platinum status. An extended edition of the LP, which featured six new songs, appeared later that year.
