Personal life and background
Joann Kelly was born in Chicago, Illinois on March 19, 1998, the daughter of singer-songwriter R. Kelly and choreographer Andrea Kelly.
Career
In 2013, Joann created a YouTube channel, where she mainly uploaded covers of different songs.
In 2015, she collaborated with her father R. Kelly on the song "Wanna Be There," an intense, personal duet about once-estranged daughter and father reuniting.
"It was very emotional for both of us, you know," said R. Kelly. "At first, she was a little uncomfortable, but I was telling her how she could touch the hearts of a lot of girls out there that haven't seen their fathers. We can touch a lot of daughters and fathers, and mothers. 'Cause [there's] a lot of women that haven't seen their fathers, a lot of fathers that haven't been able to be around their kids like they want to be."
