Keey Lessons from the Elders

Bob Marley said, "One good thing about music is when it hits you, you feel no pain...". This quote describes Keeyen Martin's vibes as not only an artist but as a divine soul. Interviewing Keeyen was comparable to talking and motivating the reflection in the mirror, because of how humble, passionate, and focus'd he is about his craft. It is not often you find creators who are so fearlessly in love with their art where the only baseline of their experience is connecting to the peace of your soul that need healing of sound.

Keeyen Martin is a North Carolina native who's sound is said to be a perfect blend of soul and RnB. He is no newbie to the music industry as he has been performing and traveling with his talents since the age of 3. Keeyen started his journey in Atlanta when he received the Michael Jackson Scholarship to attend Morehouse University

Through his musical career, Keeyen has shared the stage with some of the industry's most accomplished talent such as Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Kanye West, Michelle Williams, Peabo Bryson, KeKe Wyatt, PJ Morton, Common, Elle Varner, Lalah Hathaway, and BeBe & CeCe Winans

His performance track record is even more impressive with having performed at 2018/2019 Grammy Week's MTV & MasterCard stages / Vh1 Save the Music / BET Music Matters / TV One Trumpet Awards / Essence Festival/Sofar Sounds/ The Emoji Art Tour/ Delta Airlines / Billboard Atlanta /TuneCore's JamCore / Coca- Cola & Six Flags Independence Day Festival / Love & Hop-Hop Labor Day Festival & many more!

When Keeyen is not performing, he is working with the Atlanta Music Project where he has worked with over 500+ youth facilitating voice lessons, music instruction, and training ensembles/choirs to underprivileged youth and young adults

Our founder, Nastrah Carr, interviewed Keeyen after his show in NYC a part of the SoFar national tour. Originally we were going to write this interview, but we felt it would be an injustice not hear to experience this King.

You can find him on social media at @KeeyenMartin on all social platforms, Spotify, Apple Music, & YouTube
