Kelsey was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma 3days before my 18th birthday in 2015; he was lucky enough to be cured in the early spring on 2016, however it has came with a lot of challenges and barriers that helped him grow into the artist he is today.In the same way dance helped him through some difficult moments of his life, he hope to inspire others who may benefit from using this as a form of release.
