All about 于文文 Kelly Yu's music and guitar.
Kelly Yu, born in Dalian and raised in Vancouver, moved to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music with a full scholarship. At the age of 4 she started playing piano, and when she was 9 she started playing guitar. At age 10, as soon as she saw Joe Satriani playing Cool #9 at the G3 concert, she knew immediately that electric guitar is the one, then she started pursuing her dream of becoming a rock guitarist. At age 17, she was invited onstage to play with Peter Frampton and his band and then later, with The Beach Boys.
In 2016, Kelly has uniquely become the first woman to gain a contract as an endorsing artist for famous guitar brand Ibanez. Deeply involved in her career as a musician, singer and songwriter, she made her debut in Taiwan with an album entitled Spirits in 2014, and her latest album Intermezzo was released in September 2021. As an actress, she made her North American debut in Roland Emmerich’s sci-fi film Moonfall in 2022.
