I started as a pianist performing with artists of all genres. This gives me the ease to flow in studios and make your song come to life!
Ready to help take that idea you have to the next level!
My goal is to take that idea you had; voice note, scratch vocal, or maybe it's just you humming a melody, and give it life.
I can produce your track from scratch, or compliment your track with additional
keys, transitions, or synth lines.
If you send me a reference track, I can bring your track to have the feel and vibe you want!

Carlos one of the best keyboardist and producer I have ever worked with when weCollaborate on music l will do the First part of the music and then he will do the second part of the music and when he finished The song is out of this world and it is extraordinary he is the producer and the keyboardist that you want to work with his ear is on point at every turn and when it is finished you will want to do more music with him and he is very humble and a great guy so I Truly will recommend all musicians rappers and singers and producers to work with this genius
Very talented keyboardist, I hired Carliso to play some keys for my production and he went above and beyond, Very soulful guy.
Carlisio is in a word “FANTASTIC” - his creativity is bar none; he has his own flare and sound and that’s what makes him so incredible. I found him online as a result of COVID and trust me, I’m never letting him go.
Carlisio Keys produced two songs on my album 'drowsy' recently released titled 'Don't Sit Next To Me' & 'Drink The Drama Away'. The process was easy and his music theory helped me create some great records!!
I have hired Carlisio for many gigs over the past 3 years. He has helped me create amazing songs for children and adults. All I do is hum or sing the song and he makes it come to life. He has greatly helped my musical videobooks get attention and sales and I will continue to work with him! Highly recommended for his level of skill, patience, versatility across many genres and fair pricing. C. A. Nelson
