About Me

Hands down…Keith Beatty was born to sing. Growing up in Indianapolis and moving on to sing in the Indiana University Choral Ensemble, the crooner made his mark on teachers and students and was known as the man with the melodic voice.No matter what trial or tribulation that came his way, Beatty always came back to music. His intense passion for song led him to go from singing musical legends like Al Green, Erykah Badu, Diana Ross, or Luther Vandross to composing his own words and sounds.“Music is part of my DNA now. I’m just trying to tap into the music within my soul,” said Beatty.Unleashing the music deep down, Beatty writes music for life, not hype. He sings with passion, emphasis, and with a way that will warm the coldest heart. He speaks truth to his listeners giving them a dose of reality a la his life experiences.Anyone can relate to that first kiss, or first heartbreak and that’s what makes the soul singer captures with every melody.“My daddy once told me to listen to music because it’ll get you through. Real singers put down on their albums their lives. Marvin Gaye told us ‘What’s going on?’ and he made us really think about what was going on. That’s the way I feel about my music. It’s got to be real for people to understand and respect it,” said Beatty.As a true talent that can draw you in with one stroke of his piano key, Beatty strongly believes music is life recorded, and those who love R&B and Soul will hear sweet sounds out of lips that only bring what’s real. Like the songs sang by Aretha Franklin and the Temptations, Keith Beatty’s songs such as ‘I Can’t go No Where,’ ‘King,’ or ‘In Life,’ will be added to the history books as songs from an artist with true talent.Election Day is Beatty’s first album and is no doubt destined for greatness. By choosing what’s real over fake he realizes people are ready for something different and ‘Election Day’ is the answer to their problem.Beatty doesn’t boast to be better than other singers; he just wants to relieve listeners’ ears of hard rap lyrics and phony R&B leaving true music lovers hungry for content. His style is set apart from the others mixing smooth silky sounds with rough truth.Never sacrificing the integrity of Soul music, Keith Beatty is here to give listeners good honest music.
