Bio
Jacqueline ONeil Kelley, born and raised in Fresno, California, began singing at the age of 5 years old with her brothers. Raised in a family of 10, all of them musically and artistically inclined, she was encouraged by her parents to pursue her music and art. Jackie was called to the ministry of music at a very young age. By the age of 7 she was playing piano and singing in church, many times ministering through song before her father preached his message. At the age of 12 she began teaching and directing children, youth and adult choirs.
Jackies dynamic vocals and extraordinary gifts have taken her throughout the United States and around the world, ministering with ACOP ministries to countries such as; Rome, Germany, Egypt, and Dubai. Touching many lives from young to old with her musical versatility and dynamic ministry, she is reaching souls like never before!
In the past 20 years God has opened the doors for her to teach vocal techniques and piano. Jackie has served as Music Director and Worship Leader at several of the fastest growing Central Valley Churches in Fresno, Ca. and abroad.
Original songs written by Jackie O come purely from the depths of her soul and from various life experiences. This makes her a dynamic live performer and well sought after musical artist. She celebrates life through her committed relationship with God and through her calling to minister to others.
Jackie O has been blessed with many talents besides music. She is an accomplished visual artist as well as performing artist. Word of Life is her personal line of greeting cards that are being sold in the gospel bookstores along with her CDs. She uses art as another venue to minister The Gospel. Her greatest desire is to love God with all her heart and serve in ministry, sharing her gifts to lift up the name of Christ to the entire world.
She now resides in Charlotte, NC with her husband Keith, working on her new project, Stepping Out, Moving Forward which will be released in early 2015. She is a cancer survivor and is now spreading that message of life to others to live.
