Shareef Keyes

Shareef Keyes is a self-produced contemporary R&B/funk artist with a flair for spellbinding melody and infectious live performances. From his recording studio in Downtown Brooklyn, NY, Keyes draws inspiration from the likes of Janelle Monáe, James Brown, and Raphael Saadiq to produce rhythms that get us out of our seats and on to the floor.

Together with his band The Groove, Keyes tapped Ghostface Killah to release "Spaghetti Fettuccini", a single from his 2018 debut album, Cooking Something. The LP featured singles "Potato Salad", "Cornbread", "Cupcake", and "Macaroni and Cheese" featuring Mickey Factz, setting the tone for what would be a big year for the crooner from Brooklyn.

In late 2018, Shareef Keyes & the Groove released a follow-up EP titled My Mood, a minimalist exploration of Keyes' contemporary R&B influences. My Mood was universally well-received, propelling Keyes to a regional U.S. tour and earning him spotlight from notable corporate partners.

"Spreading happiness through funk music" is Keyes' humble mission statement. For those who have experienced the fervor of The Groove firsthand, it's safe to say that it’s only the beginning.
