Interview with Just Keith
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The latest project I worked on was Personal Preference by an artist named Cook Fee and I'm especially proud of the role i took place on in his lead single on his project called "No More Drugs" I was a singer and songwriter on this record and also inspired my single that came out on Memorial Day "Let Go"
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am currently working on my 1st EP which I'm aiming to release in early 2019. I'm also finishing my follow up single as well as booking shows for 2019 with the first one being on the 5th of January.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise to my clients is to give them the best possible product in a timely fashion and not only give them a Grade A product but also provide a learning experience for them to get better with their craft and aspirations.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love the grind, I love the process of making something new and exciting every time I'm in the studio. I like touching someone's soul with my words and help make their day better.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Where do you get your story lines from? has to be one of the most commonly asked questions. The way I respond to that is, "Life". Realizing what is around me and what myself or other people go through really gives me the inspiration to make a great story out of every record I put out.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Biggest misconception is how long a good record can take, people think that it just magically pops in your head but it's the collaboration or taking a step back to really figure out what needs to be said and how it needs to sound in order to really make a great product.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is your inspiration? What direction are looking to head towards? Is there a bigger project? Where do you think you lack when making a record and how are you looking for me to help?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you are looking for someone who can take a and idea and make a beautiful story out of it, if you're looking for someone who can really get a song to pop and make people catch a vibe, if you're looking for someone who has patience and really will take the time to give you a grade A product then I am the person for you.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Before music I wanted to become a sportscaster, definitely knowledgeable when it comes to that field as well but I have been singing for 12 years and been songwriting for another 10 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is definitely rooted by R&B but I definitely have my touch of new school, if you like smooth records you would definitely love my music.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Ryan Leslie, his production is immaculate and was definitely one of my biggest inspirations as an up and coming singer/songwriter.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I mainly work with R&B/ Pop records, have a lot of experience with making top line records and playing with ideas for top 40 hits. I also dabble with hip hop records as well.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I would have to say my strongest skill is storytelling and creating a plot within the record. I like for my audience to feel what I'm saying and get them in a particular mood.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I definitely bring the R&B/Soul vibes to a song. I like to give it that smoothness of the 90's but also keeping it fresh and current to what we have in today's music.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My typical work process varies but the base of it is usually sitting down with my producer and creating a vibe, reading what each other is into and organically build from there.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Ne-Yo, Maxwell, Miguel are some of my biggest inspirations. My inspiration tend to change as time goes on, as of late my biggest inspirations have been 6lack and Khalid.
