THE KEJI ALBUM IS NOW OUT!

About Me

C L I C K A N D B U Y !Keji Hamilton is a multi-instrumentalist who plays the piano, guitar, saxophone, conga and drums; amongst several other instruments. He is a master composer/arranger of the Jazz and Afrobeat genres of music.Keji was a key figure in Fela Anikulapoâ€™s Band, as a Guitarist and later as a Pianist. His record credits with Fela include â€˜Beast of No Nationâ€™, â€˜Overtake Don Overtake Overtakeâ€™, â€˜Just Like Thatâ€™, â€˜Army Arrangementâ€™ and â€˜Teacher Donâ€™t Teach Me Nonsenseâ€™. Keji had a very close relationship with Fela and many fans of Fela would readily remember Keji because he usually opened Felaâ€™s live performances. Fela, in one of his hit tracks, made fond reference to Keji in the popular refrain â€œkere keji keke, yahâ€. Keji is reputed to be one of the few musicians that play the â€˜authenticâ€™ traditional afrobeat music, at the level Fela established.Keji is widely travelled across Europe and America. He has visited 43 cities in the US alone. Keji pastors a church in Lagos and is actively involved with the rehabilitation of drug addicts and other social derelicts (having, himself, been delivered from years of cocaine/heroin addiction and street crime). He is happily married and is father to a lovely daughter.Keji currently heads the Exousia Band (a thirteen man band) and had his 'return' Concert on September 15 2007 at the Muson Center, Onikan â€“ Lagos, Nigeria. Keji Hamilton's self-titled album, 'Keji', is available in major download stores. The album is a production of Exousia Entertainment, and is marketed and distributed online by WM Recordings.Keji Hamilton and the Exousia Band are managed by Exousia Entertainment - www.exousiaentertainment.com
