Keith longed to share his story with the world and he knew that being a songwriter would be the best way to do so. With his heart felt lyrics and his powerful vocal, Keith has found a way to transform experience into the purest form of raw emotion one might ever find. His only hope is to one day be given the chance to share his heart with the world.
