Keaton Simons

Keaton Simons is a Los Angeles-born singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer whose music has quietly lived in millions of ears for two decades. His song "When I Go" — featured on USA's Suits — has drawn nearly 20 million Spotify streams, and his catalog has soundtracked NCIS, Sons of Anarchy, and NUMB3RS. A player since childhood, he's shared stages and studios with Snoop Dogg, Gnarls Barkley, Slim Kid Tre of The Pharcyde, and Chris Cornell.

Today he's best known on the road as Brett Young's musical director and lead guitarist, a role he's held since 2018. Off the stage he co-scored the feature film Love, Weddings & Other Disasters (2020), runs his label PitchShift Records, and is finding his way back to his own music — with new material on the horizon.

Rooted in soul, folk, blues and rock, his songwriting carries what the Los Angeles Times once called "a lived-in quality that will echo in our minds and hearts for years to come."
