She moved to Houston in order to leave her alcoholic and abusive father.
In 2011, she became a judge on The X Factor.
Kelendria Trene Rowland was born on February 11, 1981, in Atlanta, Georgia. She is the daughter of Doris Rowland Garrison (December 6, 1947 – December 2, 2014) and Christopher Lovett. Kelly has an older brother named Orlando. When she was six, her mother left her father, who was an abusive alcoholic due to PTSD from Vietnam, and Rowland went with her. At the age of eight, she relocated to Houston. In 1992, Rowland joined a girl group, originally named Girl’s Tyme. Rowland’s addition made it a six-member group. West coast R&B producer, Arne Frager, flew to Houston to see them and eventually brought them to his studio, The Plant Recording Studio, in Northern California. As part of efforts to sign Girl’s Tyme to a major label record deal, Frager’s strategy was to debut them on Star Search, the biggest talent show on national TV at that time. They participated but lost the competition to Skeleton Crew.
Rowland branched out into acting with a guest stint on the sitcom The Hughleys in 2002, before appearing in other UPN shows such as Eve and Girlfriends in the years of 2003 and 2006 respectively. Having played the role of Tammy Hamilton, an ambitious 21-year-old apprentice to realtor Toni (Jill Marie Jones) in the latter sitcom, Rowland initially hoped her three-episode stint would expand to a larger recurring role, but as the show was moved to The CW network the following year plans for a return eventually went nowhere. Also, in 2003, she appeared in American Dreams as Martha Reeves of Martha & The Vandellas, singing a version of the group’s single “Nowhere to Run”.
Most of the lyrical themes in Simply Deep (2002) speak of love and life experiences, particularly in the songs “Dilemma”, in which Rowland expresses her endless love to her love interest, and “Stole”, in which she sings about an emotional “tale of school shootings and suicides”. In Ms. Kelly (2007), Rowland covers topics such as her “deeply personal relationship issues” in her songs, “Still in Love with My Ex”, “Flashback”, “Love”, “Better Without You” and “Gotsta Go (Part I)”. Alex Macpherson of The Guardian noted that the songs could be about Rowland’s former relationship with American football player Roy Williams. Here I Am (2011) included common themes of womanhood, sexual intimacy, and love. Some of Rowland’s other songs such as “Work”, “I’m Dat Chick” and “Work It Man” have been musically compared to the work of former Destiny’s Child bandmate Beyoncé.
