Working with Keyzus was an absolute pleasure. He is not only extremely professional but a creative genius. He went above and beyond to help me make my first rap song great. Before he finetuned my beat he sent me 4 different samples that were all good. He also came out to NYC for recording, and helped coach me through some of the verses that I was stumbling on. He added some cool final touches to my song. There's no doubt it would have been 3x shittier without him! Would hire again!

I hate to use a cliche, but Keysus truly has his finger on the pulse of where music is now, but also where it's going. Most of the producers on this site have sounds, samples, great equipment, but not everyone uses them with a level of artistry that Keysus does. We let his sensibilities guide us through the process and, in the end, were rewarded with outstanding results that simply blew our minds! And no one works harder! HIGHLY recommend.

Keyz is more than a producer; he is a vessel for all ideas innovative and unlike those already performed. Working with Keyz is refreshing, and your expectations are guaranteed to be met and then exceeded well beyond.

The perfect combination of throwback sensibilities and new wave execution. Sonically ahead of his time. He’s goincordellg to be one of the defining architects of this generation

Keys open doors. Keys provide a medium to create beautiful music. Keyz opens the window to the soul. With masterful choices in instrumentation mixed with a soulful, yet contemporary feel there is truly no mood nor sound Keyzus is unable to capture.

Keyzus is an extraordinary, talented composer who defies gravity on the musical waters of life. He often ascends the normal realm of today's beat makers by putting a soul into each sound he creates. If you're looking for a classic rap feel, new school innovation, and/or a mix of both, then Keyzus is the man for the job!
