Get to know Keithian
Keithian was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised in an extremely creative environment. His grandfather taught him the saxophone and he played in his family’s jazz band until he joined a band. The group signed a record deal, performed, and toured for several years while working on their debut album, but broke up before it was released.
Keithian signed a solo deal with Virgin Records and started working on his debut album, but the label was shut down due to a merger. Frustrated with being caught up in the label system, he independently released his Power EP, toured, did residencies, served as a music director while writing & producing for other recording artists.
At the end of 2019, Keithian connected with producer/keyboardist Oliver Delcros– Sainville in a Rihanna session. The pair spent a week working on music for the Pop Goddess, but discovered a connection and started working on songs that become Keithian’s upcoming … to my Pain EP.
When asked about this EP Kethian said, “to me, it felt like a well-needed release. Meaning I just wrote what was on my head. Some songs were written in 15 minutes and simply out of vibrations. As a young Afro-Latino, there are a lot of things that we don’t get the chance to discuss. It’s painful. I put my emotions into my songs and used my everyday life to create. Even though some songs are fun, this EP symbolizes how we feel. That doesn’t just go for males, it includes Black women, minority groups, and just people in general. I just felt like this piece of music is very honest. It’s real, it’s on the surface.”
