Keithian was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and grew up in an extremely creative environment .

His grandfather taught him the saxophone and he played in his family’s jazz band until he joined a boy group. The group signed a record deal, performed, and toured for several years while working on their debut album, but broke up before its release.

Keithian signed a solo deal with Virgin Records and started working on his debut album, but the label was shut down due to a merger. Frustrated with being caught up in the label system, he independently released his Power EP, toured, did residencies, served as a music director while writing & producing for other recording artist.

At the top of 2019, Keithian connected with French Producer / Keyboardist Oliver Delcros- Sainville in a Rihanna session. The pair spent a week working on music for the Pop Goddess, but discovered a connection and started working on songs that become Keithian’s upcoming ... to my Pain EP.
