Kelso is a former special education teacher, musician, and single father, now homeless and living on the streets for the last eight years. His story unfolds like a poem, equal parts performance and raw confession. Through whimsical language, philosophical riffs, and spontaneous rhymes, he offers a deeply emotional window into loss, resilience, and grief.

His most personal story revolves around his daughter, Kaya, whom he raised alone from infancy. Kai drowned at 22, and Kelso’s grief is still raw. He blames himself for not being there. His love for her is still palpable: "Kai Kai, you were the best rabbit in the world."
