This multi-faceted California rapper Keyvous began making music when he was just 11 years old. Born Keyote Gilmore in Portland, Oregon, he moved to greater Los Angeles, California and was involved from a very young age in theater and learning music. He formed a group called Think Twice with two school friends, and at the end of his teenage years he was touring and recording solo, as well as with the League and Leon Rockmore. His solo material drew on a wide range of west coast hip hop, R&B and pop influences as the years rolled on. 2011’s The Travel was a retro-fitted homage to ’80s hip-hop and radio rap, with funk-tinged beats and wobbly synths backing up Keyvous’ rhymes and vocals. He returned in 2014 with Open Letter, Pt. 1, preceded by party anthem single “I Get It.” Ever active, he continued to issue new singles and make appearances on other artists’ tracks over the next several years. From Street People Entertainment the radio world is about to experience something very special with Keyvous.
