Keegan-Michael Key is biracial, adopted at a young age by an African American father, Michael Key, and a white mother, Patricia Walsh—both social workers—and was raised in Detroit. His experience growing up in a biracial family would play a part in shaping his later comedy with Jordan Peele, who also has a biracial background; their work often focused on themes of racial identity and cultural stereotypes.
