Kell-O-G” was born and raised on the Westside of Chicago. He graduated from Kelvyn Park High School; Chicago, IL which was a predominantly Hispanic school. Being exposed to the city as an artist and adapting to various cultures is his priority. Kell-O-G is a humanitarian for his community and maintaining that leadership is his number one goal. Kell-O-G is a Dj/Drama/Poetry writing Instructor at a local recreational park in Chicago.
He was raised by both mom and dad with two sisters and a older brother. He was always taught that family always comes first. That is why Word Life Productions will continue to be operated and consulted by family. Kell-O-G stated that “values of love and opening my doors to other people stay within my heart” this will always be successful tool in the community. He’s been supporting live open – mic Spoken word events since the mid- 1990’s.
Kell-O-G never had the thought of performing in front of an audience even within his 10 years of writing until his father’s death in March of 2003. A tribute in memory of his father’s tradition would be for the family and exercised through community outreach. The patio show and Word Life Productions are the tools for us and since then it has been one of the hottest and fastest growing open- mic shows on the city’s Westside. Kell-O-G’s company “Word Life” which stands for Writing on Raw Demands Living In Free verse Environment; exposes artist, models, dancers, poets and musicians on showcases.
He continues on with his late father’s Willie E. Mooney tradition of the backyard concept; by opening up doors to the community. He provides the only “Poetry on the Patio” to musicians, spoken word artist and business professionals in the city of Chicago. This location includes space for up to 90 guests and it’s free admission. I give it an A+ if you’re looking to have an inexpensive evening with live performers that possess raw talent. This show offers the opportunity for industry leaders to show their skills and enhance their strengths.
The most important key is networking and building strong relationships. You can catch other well-known Chicago Artist on the stage such as Red Storm, Awthentik, Brenda Matthews, Avery R. Young, K-Love, Allen Bryson, 3BM Productions, Yahdna, Sa’alek, Avery R. Young, and many others. The Patio show has received many local newspaper and television exposure from channel 19 Comcast TV with “Community Essentials”, North Lawndale, Austin Voice & Austin Weekly Newspaper. Kell-O-G is experienced within the entertainment industry; working as a DJ, promoter and poet of Word Life Productions. He has also attended and participated in numerous events that are listed below.
