PROFILE

With a rich background in church gospel, jazz, R&B, and blues, Keith honed his skills at Willamette University and earned a Bachelor’s in music education from Berklee College of Music. As a professional jazz pianist and vocalist, he performed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and his original compositions were selected as the official songs for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Shanghai International Expo. In Japan, Keith has showcased his versatility across genres—jazz, R&B, pop, bossa nova, and soul—at premier venues like the Ritz Carlton (Tokyo & Osaka) and the Imperial Hotel Tokyo. His sophisticated piano technique and warm, bluesy voice, reminiscent of Ray Charles and Nat King Cole, continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
