Fraser Kelly was born on November 30, 2001 in Scunthorpe, England to his mother Amanda. He grew up in Scunthorpe, and attended Frederick Gough School until 2018. In 2015, he began his acting career by taking on the role of Urban, a young illiterate boy, in the drama film Urban & the Shed Crew. The same year, Kelly made minor appearances in the short film Synchronicity and the television series Deep Cuts.

In 2017, Kelly auditioned for a role in Solo: A Star Wars Story, not realizing what film it was. After the audition, he did not think he had landed a role, but received communication a few months later that he had been cast. Kelly then researched the film and realized it was a part of the Star Wars franchise. Despite having been a Star Wars fan when he was younger, he had not seen any of the films released after Disney bought the franchise from George Lucas in 2012. Kelly opted to not watch the films he had not seen yet so that he could portray the role in his own way. Kelly and his mother traveled to Pinewood Studios to film his part as a scrumrat. The film was released on May 25, 2018.
