Spend a moment with Keith and you’ll enjoy the fantastic artistry, great joy, and the unique style and groove of an exciting new artist on the rise! By taking chances and being true to himself Keith has had fantastic experiences to share his heart and soul through music, and is ready for his next great adventure.

Originally from St. Thomas U.S.V.I, Keith lives in Columbus, OH making his living as a media developer, an on-demand radio/tv personality, educator, and of course as a musician. While they all help to pay the bills, Keith’s true passion is music. On the cusp of greatness, Keith is getting ready to be a huge part of the contemporary music scene.

“I see music without boundaries. You can enjoy music with anyone, anywhere. When music speaks a global language, the barriers disappear. It inspires us to create an experience that brings artists closer to their fans and consumers, regardless of language or style.”

Keith’s first solo disc, "Keith Newton:Feelin' Groovy!" (released in 2005), is a sharp departure from the routine and sameness found in many music discs. Because of Keith’s unique approach to music, Feelin’ Groovy was received well by fans and critics alike. The originality, passion, and fresh twists and turns in the music let Keith’s music speak with authority, but it also communicate with people on any level. Feelin Groovy has sophistication, elegance, soul, and a bit of a kick! More often, people refer to Keith’s disc as Feelin’ Groovy as “excellent recording debut.” As one listener said, Keith has an “addictive sound.” “The more you listen …, the more you want to hear...again.”

Take a chance, do your very best, and see what happens. If you’re ready, a spectacular experience may be waiting for you.

Keith amazed the people on the “All-Star Jazz Cruise” in November of 2005 when he, a passenger on the trip, got the opportunity to play with Rick Braun, Nick Colionne, Mindi Abair, Marion Meadows, Euge Groove, and all the other hired guns while at the nightly Jam Sessions. Before the end of the week, Keith was branded a “Passenger All Star” by Nick Colionne, and he was welcomed back nightly by fans and artists alike.

I like living life doing what I love, and I do love to entertain!

Keith is now working on his next solo project and he is focused on sharing the originality, power, energy, and passion from his heart with you. He’s also continuing to evolve as a musician and is incorporating even more R&B, hip-hop, and global grooves into the music he creates. In addition to his own projects, Keith is also lending his talents to writing, arranging, and performing with Urban Jazz Coalition, another smooth jazz group on the rise and ready for success!

He’s not a household name yet but he's comin'! Get ready to know Keith Newton, a fantastic musical artist!
