R. Kelly

R. Kelly is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and producer known for blending smooth soul and gospel‑inflected vocals with contemporary R&B and hip hop–influenced production. He wrote and produced much of his own material and for other artists, and his vocal approach often used a flexible tenor and falsetto with lyrical focus on romance and sexuality. His public profile has been shaped both by his musical output and by longstanding legal controversies and allegations of sexual misconduct.
