Luvspiration the EP is coming…
The Mecca of Music, Atlanta University Center continues to produce music for the soul. In a generation increasingly defined by cookie-cutter vocalists, mass-produced singles, and formulaic lyrics, the music industry may yet have hopes of promoting real talent and rekindling the “soul” –as well as the “real singing”—of music in the form of Keeyen Martin. Raised as an only child in Charlotte, North Carolina, Keeyen’s journey as an artist began in the church, where he began singing publicly at the tender age of 5. By 12, Keeyen had written his first song, and at the ripe age of 24, Keeyen Martin’s musical future looks more promising than ever. An adept singer, songwriter, and pianist, Keeyen is the definition of a blossoming musician whose dedication to his craft is sure to pay off—very soon. His rare capacity for creating meaningful music, along with his flare for modernizing and mixing soul, pop, and gospel influences allows him to shine bright in the sea of dronish, ready-made starlets that comprise today’s industry.
Keeyen’ s own mantra concerning music—“Just do you!”—; Reveals his refusal to be anything less than original, and at this point in his life, his musical mission to uplift, encourage, and inspire his generation is bound to shake the foundations of popular music in the coming years. Keeyen has experienced singing background for several industry artists such as, Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child, Rueben Studdard, Peabo Bryson, Rudy Currence, Donnie McClurkin and more. He consistently works with numerous aspiring musicians and vocalists within the Atlanta, GA area extending voice lessons, production coaching, music education, and publishing courses. His song catalog boasts over 150 plus songs, having worked with many notable artists. Recently Keeyen has performed in various venues from TBN networks, Vh1 Save The Music, BET and ASCAP.
He has shared the stage with artist Roman GianArthur, Isaac Caree, Jennifer Holliday, Marian Mereba, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Winans and more. His single #DiveN2Luv is buzzing, gaining airplay in Charlotte, NC; Atlanta, GA; Uniontown, AL; South Africa; New Zealand and the UK with rave reviews.
His newest single #Suitcase was released on 6/5/15 and is receiving an awesome response! So much new music, videos and more are certainly in store for his growing fan base and audience of listeners.
