Keith has now branched out as an artist by recording his debut album TRANSITIONS and releasing it on his own recording label, MCMI Records. TRANSITIONS is a combination of his original music and poetry which features many top musicians and vocalists known globally. Transitions is an absolute labor of love that came about from a car wreck that made him realize that "Carpe Diem" would become his mantra.

Keith is on tour and available to perform his Live Music from his Debut CD "Transitions" at Concert Halls, Music Arenas and festivals, Jazz Lounges, Night Clubs, Small Venues, Poetry Clubs and Cafes. His live performances are filled with passion, creativity and an up close and personal interaction with his audience. He is fully engaging, always entertaining and never disappoints. Keith gives you an up close and personal glimpse into his life, his story and his passion. Though tragedy and triumph, you will relate to all parts of his musical poetry, from stories of love and loss, personal growth and family issues, accidents and recovery, there is not a part of this CD that someone can not relate to. The CD Transitions is a broad but collective spectrum of his poetry, fused with lyrical melodic songs and original music written by Keith. He draws on inspiration from the music that has inspired him throughout his life and career ranging from Jazz to Hip Hop and Rap, Latin and Brazilian undertones, to R & B and Soul. Along with is passionate performances, you will find comedic relief, and feel the rhythm and beat that tells the story of his life.

In addition to the release of his debut CD, "Transitions", Keith teaches not only leadership and accomplishing goals by working together, but also creativity, positive affirmations and individuality though his Body Percussion Workshops. Teaching Body percussion globally Keith has found new ways to successfully communicate and share his joy through rhythm. These workshops and seminars are always highly successful. These workshops are open to all ages, from small children to senior citizens. Body Percussion is a fun, energetic, and rhythmic dance where your body's every movement provides the beat. Hands clap, fingers snap, feet stomp and tap, hands give your knees a slap, are only just a few ways to make rhythmic sounds. All moving in time. When put together in sequences you develop grooves and songs and routines by yourself or groups. Your body literally becomes a drum set. It is liberating. Learning to embrace your creativity through sound an movement solely using your own body.

Keith is available and will offer his Body Percussion seminar and workshops to dance studios, public/private schools, cultural centers, fitness facilities, music academies and a host of other venues.

Keith had a successful 6 week tour in Japan where he taught Body Percussion to children and adults aged 2-82. Keith had several live performances of music from his album TRANSITIONS at Ikebukoro and Nakasu Jazz festivals, Blues Alley, Alfie Jazz Club, Tiempo, Isla de Salsa Festival and others, with internationally known top musicians, such as Kenji Jino Hino The 2nd, Hironubu Saito, Fuyu Murata, Maru Aka Firelily, Andy Wulf, Reuben Cainer, Kappa Tanabe, Lauren Molina, Masa Kohama, Jay Stixx, and many more.
