He was born on April 25, 1973, in Zanesville, Ohio, the son of the late Paula Fulk Frazier.
Kelly was a1992 graduate of Crooksville High School where he served as a drummer in the school's marching band. He was proud of his time with the band and returned each year to participate in the alumni band events.

Not only was he interested in music, but he had various other interests, too. Kelly was also an avid University of Michigan fan and a big supporter of professional wrestling. Kelly spent countless hours studying his family's genealogy. There was no one else like Kelly- he was an individual and he was proud of that fact.
