Gabriel Kelly wants to prove on “Let's Dance” that he can not only sing but also dance.
But first there is some insight into his family circumstances.
Cologne – This year Gabriel Kelly (22) is competing in “Let's Dance”, similar to his aunt Maite Kelly (44), who even achieved first place in 2011.
Despite her success, Gabriel did not seek her advice.
According to the young singer, there is not a particularly close relationship between him and his aunt.

As a member of the famous Kelly family, Gabriel Kelly was practically born with rhythm.
At a young age he toured Europe with his parents, Angelo and Kira Kelly.
Of course his siblings were there too.
The young musician now performs alone as a rapper.
Gabriel's participation in "Let's Dance" could connect him even more with his aunt Maite Kelly, who even won the show in 2011.
Despite the family connection and Maite Kelly's show success, Gabriel did not seek advice from her.
The relationship is rather distant.

“Maite and I are not particularly close,” says Gabriel Kelly.
