"I was born and raised in Cork city, in a very big musical family. My mum, Evelyn Grant, was a presenter on lyric fm and a flute lecturer at the Cork School of Music. My dad, Gerry Kelly, lectured in cello there too, and is an impresario and gigger.

As kids we were either going to their gigs or being put to work organising the music for them, and after school we were in the school of music every single day. There was no escaping my destiny! My two sisters and my brother all became musicians as well: a harpist,a flautist and a trombonist, all based in London.

I started on piano, tried trumpet, and settled on percussion at about 13. I wouldn't swap it for anything. The others work too hard!
