This following episode is a Bonus episode of Dré’s Dispatch that was recorded several months ago and Daniel forget to upload it.
In this Dispatch we chat with songwriter and keyboardist KindKeith (they/them). We learn about KindKeith’s creative process, inspirations and aspirations for their musical career.
KindKeith studied jazz at UT where they met other talented musicians during the pandemic. Those connections helped give form to KindKeith’s most recent musical group Mockjaw.
KindKeith’s music, influenced by jazz and RnB, explores their emotions throughout different life experiences. For instance, the hardships they faced during jazz school, finding community as a Black Queer person, and the bliss of being in a better place towards the end of the pandemic.
