Join us as we delve into the remarkable journey of The Kelly Twins, Michael Joseph Kelly and Marcus Wright Kelly, hailing from the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon.

**The Kelly Twins: A Tale of Transformation:**
The Kelly Twins, also known as Michael and Marcus, are two African-American men who have left an indelible mark on their community. While they are renowned for their striking resemblance, it's their incredible story of personal growth and redemption that truly sets them apart.

**From Notorious to Noteworthy:**
Many knew the Kelly Twins for their good looks, but others were familiar with their music, and some remembered their troubled past. In 2008, they made headlines when they found themselves in a packed courtroom, facing charges of money laundering. People couldn't believe that these two young men, raised in the heart of Portland, could be involved in such a significant blue-collar crime.

**A Father's Influence:**
Raised by a strong and principled father, the twins were instilled with a deep sense of right and wrong. Despite their unfortunate entanglement with the criminal justice system, they held onto the values their father had imparted. Upon realizing the gravity of their situation, they decided to change the course of their lives. With a single sentence, they embarked on a journey of self-improvement within the confines of prison.

**Rebuilding Lives and Communities:**
Upon their release, Michael and Marcus returned to their communities with a newfound purpose. They became instrumental in driving positive change, tackling the root causes of violence at the grassroots level. Their commitment to rebuilding lives extended beyond their communities; they also pursued their lifelong dreams.

**Music as a Force for Good:**
In their quest for personal and societal transformation, the Kelly Twins found solace in music. Today, they are using their musical talents to change the lives of young people, particularly troubled youth. Through teaching music and engaging with these young individuals, they provide a path towards positivity and self-expression.

**The Path Ahead:**
The Kelly Twins are not content with the status quo. They are actively working on establishing a 501c3 organization and are on the lookout for sponsors, businesses, and community partners who share their vision. Together, they aim to reach troubled youth, drawing from their own life experiences to inspire change.
