Abel Teshager Kelkay (born September 14, 1987), known professionally as Benny Boy, is an American recording artist, music producer, and songwriter from Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2009, he released his first mixtape, The Past: My Process. The following year he then released his second project entitled, The Present: My Life. Apart from his solo career, he is also a member of the group, Boy Brigade.

In September 2017, Kelkay released his first single Gotta Go for his upcoming project The Future:_ (pronounced "The Future") set to release later this year.

An aspiring artist hailing from Las Vegas, Benny Boy blends hip-hop and hints of various other genres to noticeably standout. Mixing conscious substance with a mainstream appeal, Benny plays with the wittiness of words and incorporates countless puns and entendres into his lyrics. Growing as a musician, Benny has included “Music producer” as one of his many titles to benefit his skills of songwriting. Putting together his first two projects for recreational purposes, Benny has decided to pursue a music career with full force. With his third installment “The Future”, this will complete his mixtape trilogy, as well as bring Benny Boy to the forefront of the music scene.

Abel Teshager Kelkay, better known as “Benny Boy”, was born on September 14, 1987 in Sunrise hospital. Growing up on the eastside of Las Vegas, his parents wanted their son to avoid the pitfalls of the inner-city and sacrificed to move Kelkay to the suburbs at an early age. At the tender age of 6, Kelkay’s parents divorced and predominately live with his mother and grandmother. Kelkay would learn to embrace a nomadic lifestyle. Rarely going to the same school consecutively, Kelkay switched 11 times during his years in grade school. With his mother constantly working, and an elderly grandmother now watching over him, Benny spent the majority of his time at home sketching and writing poetry. Once he was introduced to the hip-hop culture, his format of poetry would eventually evolve into the flow and style he has today.

Since then, Benny has released two mixtape projects, by the name of “The Past: My Process”, and “The Present: My Life”. Both of these projects were strictly released for his friends and acquaintances, but the positive response he’s received has led to the result of Benny Boy releasing his third installment for the general public. Simply titled “The Future”, Benny will be showcasing his various talents of songwriting, lyricism, and music production.
